Thanks! However, I am not able to get that to work. I should probably also mention that the curstom field is a drop down menu (don't know if that matters). So I tried a variation of the following to select the particular option ID selected:

else if ($vbulletin->userinfo['field7'] != 5)
    {
     $newusergroupid = 10;
 }

So 5 = Venue, but that doesn't seem to work either. It is still putting users in the default 2 group.

Annnnnd this won't work...

if ($vbulletin->options['verifyemail'])
 {
  $newusergroupid = 3;
 }
 else if ($vbulletin->options['moderatenewmembers'] OR $vbulletin->GPC['coppauser'])
 {
  $newusergroupid = 4;
 }
 else if ($vbulletin->userinfo['field7'] != "Venue")
    {
     $newusergroupid = 10;
 }
 else
 {
  $newusergroupid = 2;
 }

hmmm...

Hey... could it be that I should be editing this instead?? I am using email activation. So upon clicking the activation link, it is putting user into default 2 group. Maybe I need to put that line of code into this somewhere??

if ($vbulletin->options['verifyemail'])
   {
    $activateid = build_user_activation_id($userid, (($vbulletin->options['moderatenewmembers'] OR $vbulletin->GPC['coppauser']) ? 4 : 2), 0);
    eval(fetch_email_phrases('activateaccount'));
    vbmail($email, $subject, $message, true);
   }
   else if ($newusergroupid == 2)
   {
    if ($vbulletin->options['welcomemail'])
    {
     eval(fetch_email_phrases('welcomemail'));
     vbmail($email, $subject, $message);
    }
   }
