Small update to find the correct place to put the code in register.php for vB3.0.2 or 3.0.3:

find:

PHP Code:

$username = $_POST['username'];
            $email = $_POST['email'];
            eval(fetch_email_phrases('newuser', 0));

            $newemails = explode(' ', $vboptions['newuseremail']);
            foreach ($newemails AS $toemail)
            {
                if (trim($toemail))
                {
                    vbmail($toemail, $subject, $message);
                }
            }
        } 


after add:
