any way to make it so that the new member is the one who makes the thread auto-maticaly.. to be welcomed.... holla

Here is what I did, you can choose to do as you wish.
1. I created a Welcome User Group
2. I created a user "CP Greeter" and assisgned this user ID to that group as it's primary user group.
3. I created a sub-forum called "welcome" and allowed html code.
4. I edited the Amy's VERY nice xml code to reflect the user ID of CP Greeter and the forum ID.

This way, when a user registers, the forum post is automagically created under my CP Greeter profile and he welcomes our new users!
See it in action here:

That's a different hack. Unfortunately, the guy gave it basically the same name as this one.

Hey Amy, This does work great but it seems to have the same IP as "CP Greeter".
Am I correct in stating this new thread to welcome the new user is created under same IP as the new user and not the official greeter?

Yes. Given that the "greeter" account is being accessed through the new member's browser.

Here are the setup variables from my plug in. Yet, this hack ALWAYS starts the thread under the new members name, and not my name. Any idea what's going on?

PHP Code:


		
			
  // Setup Variables
    $forumid = 36; // The forum id that you want the thread posted in
    $postuserid = 1; // The Userid of the poster
    $postusername = "Xplorer4x4"; // The username of the poster
    $title = "Hello " . $username . " welcome to XP."; // The thread title

i want to arrange setting from vbulletin setting section..that hack (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...3&page=1&pp=15) can do it..bu it does not write user name by me...it writes by newuser..
your hack can do it it writes by me (poster) but when i change the welcome message ,it is very hard to arrange..do u understand what i am saying..

if it is possible..it will be perfect..
