How to set standard settings for new users?
 

Subject kinda says it all - on my vbulletin board, when a new user registers, the standard user settings doesn't enable private messages, and I really need it to.

I'll be eternally grateful if someone could help out asap, I'm launching the board tomorrow, and expect about 200 registrations on the first day, at least.

you have to edit the registeradult template

the checked tag you can put where you want it ;)

Sorry, I just checked that template - that's not what I was looking for. We have a system running that bypasses that template in order to use a site-wide database. Works like this: a user tries to login, vbulletin checks against our database, and if that username and password matches, our database outputs username and password to vBulletin's database, and - I suspect - a range of options that the original programmer didn't quite think through.

What does that output look like, does anyone know? :)

From the template Xenon referred to, I suppose I just need to add "receivepm=yes" to the add-line or something like that?

hmm, can't say more without knowing your system better...

when your system adds a user to the vb database, be shure it sets the field receivepm to 1
