Hi Ted, I possibly gave you wrong info....

Seems I have 2 user groups awaiting confirmation:

(COPPA) Users Awaiting moderation : ID=4

Users awaiting email confirmation : ID=3

They then go into registered users ID=2 when I activate them....

Sorry for incorrect info previously......

Those groups are VB defaults .....

Thankyou for helping sort this out for me :)

In that case you would need to add a message to handle people in group #2 (few people use the moderation option and almsot everyone uses it differently). You can copy an existing welcome header message, like the one on line 35, in the template welcome_headers and insert it before the message addressing post count.

Great plugin...but.

I uninstalled this plugin temporarily because I dont know how quickly the emails get sent out. I customized alot of the phrases and links for the emails being sent out.. and have no way of telling if everything came out ok.. The last thing I want to do is sent out emails to thousands of members with broken links. Thats as unprofessional as it gets.

I was wondering, how come there isnt a test email function available...or will it be available soon?

Another recommendation : Being able to customize the Title : of the emails being sent out.

You must have this hack confused with something else... welcome headers appear on your website and don't have any relationship to email messages.

Ted, I am confused.

I thought this program would send out a email if they havent logged in for a certain period of time....or if they havent posted in a certain amount of time ? I would think that would work much better.

Also, is there a listing of what each number refers to in the phrases..and if we could add other variables. (example: the {2} {3} stuff )

and you got that idea where?

any idea how to remove the welcome headers from the home page, but have it everywhere else?

If it was not a plugin and a template mod instead I think there is an <IF> that covers it but no idea with plugins. Maybe youc an palce the same if conditional on the XML file.

<if condition="$forum[forumid] == X">XML</if>

try this tag have no idea how it will work i have never edited XML files

where you see the X put in the forum ID's of the forums you the header on.

Open the XML file find

<!-- // Start Welcome Headers // -->

after it put this in

<if condition="$forum[forumid] == X">

Go right to the end and add this

</if>

when i use this mod, seems like my database server load is jump to 100.
do you think this mod that causing this high load?
any idea? anybody use this on big boards (mine have 3000-5000 users online)
