Ups, I was to quick. Sorry, it doesn't work.

Let me try to be more clear about this.

1. I didn't put the welcome_installer.php in the admincp folder. Therefore I couldn't install the hack.

2. Instead I tried to do the hack manually by following this guide:

located here: http://www.all4a-designs.com/forums/...21.msg22#msg22

3. So I created the 6 varnames in 'user registration options' manually.

4. Now that I have found out how to install the hack, I don't know how to delete the 6 varnames I have created manually.

5. Since I never installed the hack, it evidently doesn't work to uninstall it.

BUT something is going on. Tonight we got a new user at 21:56 CET, and I could see that the Forum Staff as I call the welcome_thread_rep had created a post the very same minute. Since the 'Forum Staff' isn't used anywhere else on the board than for the purpose of generating an automatic welcome greeting, the board must have created a welcome greeting.

I obtained the information about a post made by Forum Staff on my Bindex portal, but it is nowhere to be found on the board. Moreover it doesn't have a title and seemingly no content.

I guess the reason is that I have created the 6 varnames + content in the user registration options, but I haven't added them to the phrase manager. Could that be the reason? And if so, what is the phrase type for each of the 6 varnames? Is it global?

hi,

this hack works fine however i'm facing a problem.I'm looged into administrator account and in the forum i assigned to this hack (the forumid) i can't see the ip address of the posters.I can in *all* other forums .I'm not blaming your hack yet but.... if it is this is a serious bug look at the two images below the one where's no computer icon in the postbit template that is from your hack the second image is from another forum (on the same board)

edit

one more image showing my iplogging setting is correc :S why why why the hell ??
