Answers.Text: The whole of the Schedule Reminder functionality appears to be fraught with problems. More often than not reminders don't get sent and generate fatal errors in my experience. A great idea, and much needed, but poorly implemented.

  <p>Scheduled reminders send if set for a specific date fine, but aren't triggered by membership end date - am i perhaps doing something wrong?</p>

  <p>I have a relevant membership ending on 30/09/2019 hence the hours to test, but tried with days too.</p>
  
  <p>Unless scheduled reminders are created on the membership creation, so not retroactive?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
