Automatic "Welcome" thread
 

The birthday hack got me thinking is would be really nice to have a hack where a thread is automatically created in a specific forum when new people sign up. The thing is though, It should only work once a person confirms (rather than just having signed up and not validated yet). Having an option where an admin or mod can manually confirm a signup would be even better. We're really good about welcoming new members but sometimes a few slip by.

i can see how nice that would be but i personally like my members to create there own welcome thread..

In an optimal world that would be the best case scenario. In our case however, our 'Welcome' forum is a subforum of our 'general chat' forum and one mod is in charge of it (in this case, my wife :)). She's the one who gets emailed when new people signup, and right now we're forced into having her forward notifications of new registrations to me so I can confirm they validated.

Would just be nice to have a hack that did this for us. It certainly doesn't mean the remaining members and staff can't come along behind it and add their welcomes.

I agree this would be a nice hack, I came searching for something like this exactly.

Looking for this too.

Cant believe it isnt here.

I could have sworn I had seen it before.

Looking for it here too, anyone found one?

Thank you, i'll have a look, i notice it's for 3.5.0 will it work on 3.6.4?
