This hack adds some more details to the email you get after a user has registered. Tested on 2.2.6, but should work on all 2.2.x versions.

It adds:

The users IP Address;
The URL of where they signed up from (e.g, the home page, a thread);
The user on the board who they ented as the referrer;
There browser & OS details;
There sig.

I made this myself a while back, but never thought about releasing it. I like the option: Registred From .. so I will be adding that soon

NTLDR, is there a fix for the birthdates that are before 1970? Anyone who has a birthday before 1970 always shows up as December 31, 1969 in the emails I get. :)

[NTLDR]

I think this is a bug with vB, as it defaults to 1970 for some stuff.

[Boofo]

I got the birthday in the member.php to work with dares before 1970, where is the code I need to fix it for the birthdates in the email?

[NTLDR]

It should be in register.php somewhere above where you add the code for this hack.

Anyone know if this works with 3.0?

[NTLDR]

No it doesn't. A vB3 version will be released in a day or so.

Not to throw you off - but something I thought that would be nice would be the option to automatically send the referrer a thank you email
