will do and will report back either way, thank you.

I know, I just have to get some time to get it working, kinda tied up working on the site.

still getting the random empty post. had a few dozen registers in the past couple of days... its about 1 or 2 empty threads for every 10 correct threads.

Hmmm, that makes no sense, I'll look into it some more.

Are you sure you installed new version allowing overwrite?

New version checks if username variable is empty, or not. If not, it creates thread. This check solves problem with users not doing correct email verification.

Import once more allowing overwrite.

last time I re-uploaded the entire mod. just now, I re-uploaded the xml from this post only.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=146

I'll report back.

Yeah the XML in that post should stop it, it has for everyone else so far.

maybe I did something wrong... either way, I should have more data by later tomorrow.

should the ver number still be 1.0.0?

Yeah there is not a new version yet, this is just like a patch.

I haven't had anymore empty name threads what so ever and the last xml file provided by ozzy did the trick.

must of been my bad, almost 40 registrations since I uploaded the new xml, not a single empty thread. looks to be all good in the hood. thanks oz.

Excellent, glad to hear. :)

So what I do to get tagging to work, I go back and edit the post and just add in "@" to the user name.... It works..

Well yeah, but that defeats the purpose of it being automated, plus if the user is already offline when you do that, they may not know.

1 problem sir
Now mod is working fine but when i open Duplicates IP reports
i see IP like this 1234.123.123 fine see 2 users register in Same IP its mean duplicate users but when i check IP from profile its different like 222.333.444.5

Just noticed that welcome thread is also created if an old user confirms new email address.

I just had one of the first users on my site to have problems with his email address, so I informed him about this. He changed email address and when he confirmed new email address, thread was created.

I use option that thread is created when they confirm email address, so this triggers new thread even when old user confirms new email address. :(

I'm sure the OzzMan will put out an update for this ....

Hmmm, I will have to see if there is a workaround for that.

Just had an issue one post was made with new user but then at the same time or right after it spammed 5 more post with user name missing and the only one person was new...

It's was and is set to created thread after email activation. I have had this happen before.

Use version that solves it: Link to the post it was given last time in attachment.

Ah k Thanks! ;)

Well, I was thinking a bit. :D

You could:

- Create new field in user table, let's call it already welcomed on installation and make it boolean (logical, only Yes/No)
- Put 1 (Yes) in all already existing users fields, so there wouldn't be new welcome threads for old users.
- When there's new email confirmation, check also if already welcomed field for that user is set to Yes, or if it is still No (0). If still No, create new welcome thread.
- After you create welcome thread for user, change status of his already welcomed field to Yes (1).

This would prevent multiple welcome threads when old users confirm new email addresses.

Installed and working great!

- with the new file of course! :)

Thanks Ozzy!

Not a problem, glad you like it, and thanks for marking as installed. :)

If you are ever considering new features for this mod, how about considering this?
The welcome thread/post reply content will be based on the new custom user field /or fields that is/are required on registration.

Hey Guys,

I use this great hack to create a new thread in adminzone and inform about new users.
But as you can see on the screen, sometimes the variable $username be empty. Im not sure where the bug comes from.

I copied the sam text to every title and body field in adminzone.

Maybe ozzy can implement a select what nubers used for create new threads, so i can say "use only template 1 and 2 for create new threads/posts.

Here the Screen: http://prntscr.com/3elg1w & http://prntscr.com/3elgbg

Thanks for quoting my post. Im also looking forward to this. this idea is much better. using templates looks really obvious to other members

How difficult would it be to add the ability to specify a tag like 'new member'

Update:

Please ignore my question. I found a different way to do it.

Great mod. I might end up using it.

Just a request: I would like to see this show their names and have it link to their new profile

Like where it says the name like this in the new post.

EXAMPLE:
Welcome CoZmicShReddeR, Glad you have joined!

I remember there was one here in the forums I used years ago that did that. I tried looking for it but cannot find it or I had it and it stopped working with VB4

Hmmm, I'll have to look into that and see if it is still feasible, which it should be.

Thank you CoZmic ! This would really be cool if Ozz could make this happen ....

It would be even cooler (:D) if it could work with mentions (DBTech AUT mod), but sadly, probably it wouldn't ever work. Linking with profiles is, on the other hand a bit easier. You just need userID supplied (like we have username supplied with $username variable), and you could construct link to users' profile fairly easy.

On the other hand, I'd like that mod checks if the user was previously registered and if was, not to create welcome thread. It looks a bit strange when users registered for years receive welcome thread.

You have seen it create threads for previously registered users?

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

Oh this sucks Ozzy!!! I got the welcome thread without the username when I created a new test account 3 times in a row ....

Oh man Ozzy...this is not good ...I am getting Welcome Threads with no names out of no where and no new registered members are even registering .... I have had 7 phantom ones and the 4 I created myself to test this out ....HELP !!! lol

I only got one new thread to go through with the username but it wasn't linked to the profile, here is the link to that thread:

https://www.cagclan.com/community/th...er-TestDummy35!

LOL! WOAH! ok ...so for every new register I am getting 3 welcome threads, 2 without the username and one with the username but it is not linked to the profile..thats why I am getting tons of phantoms ...makes sense?

That's strange, I did not get that on my dev site. I'll look over the code in a bit and see what is going on.

Ok I fixed the no username thing, redownload and install the new XML.

I had removed some code inadvertently that caused that.
