- Does Usergroup registered have permission to use PMs?
- Are you using the original Phrases?

It's implemented with vB 3.6.x

AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> User Registration Options
Welcome Private Message

Enabling this option will send a welcome private message to new users. Please input the username of the user that this PM is to be sent from. To alter or translate this message, use the following links:

[PM Title] [PM Body]

Note: If you require emails to be verified, this message will be sent after the user has activated his or her account. Also ensure that Receive Private Messages is enabled in Default Registration Options below.

Regards, Stoebi

How can I edit the PM? The only box available is the "Translation" box. I don't want to translate the text. I want to *change* it. Is there a way to do this or do I have to delete the phrases and create new ones?

Andreas,

I had this hack installed when my board was on v3.5. When I upgraded to 3.6, I uninstalled this hack, and used the integrated welcome PM in 3.6. I recently discovered that since upgrading, the welcome PMs are not sending. I started a support thread at vB.com, and they suggested:

It may be a problem with the db changes made by your old hack. I suggest posting over at vbulletin.org for complete instructions on removing those changes from the database.

As I said, I did uninstall the old hack from the products menu in the control panel before upgrading.

Any ideas what else I should look at here? Is there something else leftover from the hack that I should be removing to let the integrated version work in 3.6?

Dexter...

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
