Yes, but where are the phrases for admin panel?

Yes, I too would very much like this. We already have one welcome thread in place, and I'd like new members to be announced there as they arrive. Much better/cleaner than a new thread for each and every new member.

Oh, yes, absolutely. It would be awkward for someone to be "welcomed" by a new thread... before they were actually approved by a mod. I mean, what if the new signup is not approved? :o That would be a bad faux-pas.

I think I'll hold off on this hack until it's easy to determine WHEN the welcome message gets posted. Thanks though...

since the install of this hack, if i search the IP address of any new registrant... my Admin username appears as an additional user with the same IP address. i searced this thread for the following terms and did not pull any definitive results; address, ip, duplicate, and user. anyone have any idea what might be happening?

Tried installing yours again and it works except I can't change the welcome message. I can change the forum ID but not the message. If I change ANYTHING in the message, it no longer works.

<p>Welcome $username!</p>
<p>EA is a very diverse place. There is a lot to do here - the trick is just knowing where to look.

First, introduce yourself. We're a friendly bunch and we welcome newcomers to the <a href="http://www.eaforums.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=23">water cooler</a>.</p>
<p>If you have a problem figuring out how to use a forum feature, check out the <a href="http://www.eaforums.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=41">Getting Around forum</a>. Your question may already be answered.</p>
<p>We are a virtual water cooler. As such, we all about conversation. Unlike other "bored at work" sites, we are much more than a collection of jokes, quizzes, links and games. We have spirited conversations about politics, ethics and social issues in the <a href="http://www.eaforums.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=164">Symposium</a>.</p>
<p>We talk about pop culture, hobbies, raising kids, getting ahead at work, and just about anything else friends talk about around the water cooler.</p>
<p> So, if you are trapped in a cubicle at work or if you are a stay at home mom looking for something to do while the kids nap or you are just looking for some company and some fun, this is the place for you.

After you become addicted to EA, you may want to become a<a href="http://www.eaforums.com/forums/payments.php?"> premium member</a> and play with even more toys such as an online <a href="http://www.eaforums.com/forums/arcade.php">arcade.</a> Premium members pay a small annual or monthly fee, which helps keep EA's lights on for everybody to enjoy. </p>
This is NOT what I want to welcome my members with but if I try to edit anything in that block, it stops working. I want my own welcome message. Liz

Installation Instructions: Import the product. Change the welcome_thread template to suit your needs. Change the setup variables in the welcome thread plugin to suit your needs.
Well, two out of three works and for an unsupported product, I guess that's the best we can hope for. Liz
