Don't thank me, Amy did all the hard work. :P

This is a great add on -- but I need some help understanding how to keep the welcome thread from being posted until after the new user has been approved by the moderator.

How can I do 'dat?

Thanks in advance.

Awesome hack... Thank's a bunch. click's install

i found some bug..new user can delete Welcome Thread..is it strange isnt it?

I agree, that would be a nice feature of this.

Here is what I tried -- but it didn't work:
I created a new user named Welcome Committee.
I made that user a regular user and made that the user who posts the welcome message.

I then set the forum up so that new threads had to be approved my a moderator. I thought that would do it -- that the moderator who approved new users would just click on thread approval and it would work.

But, no joy. It just went right ahead and posted the new user instead.

Surely there is a way though.

Then you have permissions set for that group to be able to delete their own threads.

no.it wasnt him, it was mine thread (welcome thread) (permissions are ok)
do u understand?

The welcome thread is the ONLY thread the person can delete?

(This hack would have nothing to with permissions, so I think you have some other problem.)

If you're familiar with coding and the plugin system, moving the plugin to register_activate_process and wrapping the code below around the plugin should work. That's how I have it running on my board, but is UNTESTED on Amy's hack...
