Thanks for you help ap0c, got it all worked out with what you suggested.

Maybe a few more suggestions if you plan on updating it again as after you fixing my problem I discovered or more like realised some other things that could be added to this hack.

1) The Thread Title, maybe add another line to the registration above the welcome thread area with thread title so they can give it there own title.

2) Minimum Characters requirement, I see you have a maximum characters to it, but whats to stop someone from just typing any one letter to by pass it?

3) Just a thought, maybe add the smilie box there to? Or is that just overdoing it? Yea maybe so.

Forgive me just talking to myself.

Thanks again ap0c

@KISS glad we found the extra} from the previous version:D
I look forward to seeing your forum when it goes live.



can a mod move this thread to full releases as I'm confident no bugs remain, thanks

Clicked 'Install' :) Working great. It's stimulating new members to participate smooth in your forum. If you have the quick registration hack with fields above the threads in every subforum it needs the code in that template(s) as well or registration from that point will not work.

Is it possible to use the Dos bot hack https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=58124 so when someone has registered and the welcome thread appears, it contains already a command as for example !help and a list of shortcuts to forumfunctions will emerge?

The dos bot only runs on "replies" It doesn't run on threads for some reason =/

?? When a new member is registering it is required to make at least 1 word for an openingstopic otherwise it is impossible to proceed. If it is possible to push the command !help as a sort of prefix in this topic then the bot will reply immediatly after the welcometopic with a whole list of botcommands to help the new member finding the way in the huge amount of functions and hacks for your forum. :)

off hand I would say yes if the proper check coding was added to the post creation part of the hack. Ie, $regthread I think it's called. Having never seen the vbdos bot hack in action, it's a guess but it should work.

This is a great hacc, plain on installing it tonight

***installed***

I can't get this to work with 2.3.3. I'm not getting any DB errors--the thread just isnt being created. I've installed and re-installed it about 5 times now, but I'm not having any luck.

Any ideas?

did you set the admin cp options in settings?
