cron.php weird behaviour?
 

when forum is turned off, cron.php does not work as expected. instead of empty 1x1 gif image it prints default page stating that forum is turned off. this results in scheduled tasks not being run and prevents them from being fully tested before deploying. is this a bug or expected behaviour? if it's expected i think it should be documented somewhere, i couldn't find any mention of this.

p.s. i spent two hours trying to find why scheduled tasks don't work. :(
