Ozz did you happen to fix the IP bug in this version too?

No not yet. :(

I really enjoy the welcome threads, but I'm quite surprised that there's no option for leaving the Posters ID blank will result in the newly registered account to make a thread instead, rather than specify which ID to use to make all the threads for them. Is there anyway I can do this?

So they would welcome them selves? Sounds more like you want a introduction thread, not a welcome thread.

Indeed ^^, but it's also a way for us to monitor members. Seeing most of the info is being posted in the postbit, it's easier for me. I'm afraid I don't see any introduction mods out there though.

I made a mistake however, this reply should be for the 4.x version, not 3.8. Anyway my suggestion can be done for me by any chance?

v1.1.0 (July 26, 2014)
- Added ability to link username to users profile.

v1.2.0 (September 13, 2014)
- Existing users that change their email, and confirm the new email, will no longer trigger the mod to post a thread.
- Users that sign up with names that have special characters, like this, pandora& will now show up correctly, instead of showing like this, pandora&
