New Users Create their own Welcome thread During Registration
 

Since I didn't find this exact hack around, here you go.

This hack creates a new welcome thread in the users name after email conformation in the forum of your choice,
and is the new forum user's first post on your board.
Since the new forum user has 1 post, it is easier for admins to check for banned members.
Depending on the admincp settings this is either required to be filled in during the registration process,
or a default reply will be inserted.
You also have the ability to redirect the new user to their post if you want.
The new thread and post will appear on the forums after they reply to the activation email.

Things to do:
-------------------
9 mysql queries to run
1 File ( 6 edits)
1 Template edit
2 new templates to create
Set vboptions


Time to install:
-----------------
a few minutes
