...yes, the question still seemed ok to me, but, far be it from me to risk the wrath of a moderator! ;) ...at least not when I'm still looking for help...

I've already re-posted the question a little more concretely here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=200869.

Executive Summary: AdminCP, Add New User, Save --> create a thread in forum 97, say, with the user name and a link to the freshly minted user profile.

I don't carry my whip around when I moderate on here; I only use it on my own site. :D

I'll go take a look at your thread.

I might be a little blind today but where do I find the add-on that creates a new thread for each new user? :)

I only found one for vB 3.5 :(

...the code I started with originated in the second post in this thread, but Lynne ("says she doesn't carry a whip") snipped it. Maybe check back in the "amykhar" posts...?

Try it out on your test site - it may work just fine.

Well, I don't carry it around with me, but it's always somewhere close by..... :D

It's always close by because Lynne (and the other Moderators) need a whipping every little while... :D
