I was just wondering if anyone has set up a "hack" or template where a new registrant receives a welcoming email upon registration; similar to how an email validation is sent to the new member to validate their email? I believe Site Point Forums does this and I think it's a cool feature.

Actually we have a volunteer that does this. All he does is send customer relations, send welcome letters and birthday cards.

Hmmm....we should figure out how to automate this. :D

Then what would site point's volunteer do? He/she would be outta of a job. Even though he/she don't get paid

Some of us aren't lucky enough to have a volunteer to do this. ;) Anyway sounds cool, I'll work on it.

I figure it goes like this:
If activation is required, do it after activation; if not, do it upon registration.
Make it an option in the Admin CP (so you can turn it off temporarily if you want to).
Do the email as a template.

Yes/no/maybe? I'll start on it...go ahead and feedback. :)

Awesome :cool:

tubedogg, sounds good to me.....looking forward to it! :)

Oh :)
Want it :)

Done and sigged. (I think that's what I'm going to say from now on, short for "I put a link in my sig". :D)

it's wicked! i got it installed on mine...it's cool:D congrats
