Just to clarify... can i use this mod to create an auto welcome reply to a members first post? - this would be perfect for me... cheers

This mod has two parts.

The first part creates a welcome post either as a new thread in a welcome forum or new post in a welcome thread. The second part tacks on some text onto the users first post, based on a template named "welcome_addon". You can turn off either part in the options.

Is this what you need? If not, can you describe exactly what you want?

Hi.. well exactly would be this : Person joins and makes his/hers first post on my forums.... i would like to welcome them automatically in the form of a reply to their first post... i could use a pre-determined template with information for new users etc... y'know what i mean?

Can it be modified when a user reaches a certain postcount to welcome him in a new section automatically? For example, someone reaches 50 posts and is upgraded to usergroup X. Usergroup X has it's own forum for welcome messages.

Eventually I'd like to add filters like a registration time of x days and a thread amount of x.

I think it's an awesome addition for forums using a hierarchical scheme of ranks.

The thread that this hack posts to never gets bumped and new posts aren't marked as "new."

Is there any way to fix that?

^so does this work as it is like that or it changes?

Any updates to make this work with 3.6?

Looking at it right now...Might be a problem with posting new threads. Ill update here when I get it figured out

Thanks! I'll be watching for it!

The problem was in the posting of the welcome note. There was a small change to the way the libraries created new posts involving the post flooding settings. I have a fix and it is installed on my test forum. As soon as I know its solid, I will post an update here.
