In the description text for this input box, there are links for changing the text.
Q: When I try to install this, I get "Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/functions.php on line xxx".
What am I doing wrong?
A: You are trying to import the XML as a Plugin which is wrong. It must be imported as a Product (ACP / Plugin System / Manage Products).
Q: Why does this Hack not work?
A: Although it is possible that you have discovered a new Bug that causes it not to work, it is more likely that you have made an installation/configuration/customization mistake.
Before asking for support, please check:
- Did you enter the Userid of the Sender?
- Does the sender have permission to use PMs?
- Does Usergroup registered have permission to use PMs?
- Are you using the original Phrases?

Please only click Install if you actually have installed/are using this Hack, and click Uninstall whan you don't use it any longer!

After a moderated/COPPA User is accepted.

Currently it does not send a PM for Users added through ACP, but I can add support for this too.

a fairly awkward request, but would you consider puting on a timer after one of you listed criteria was met?

That way, it won't seem like so much of a bot if it send 3 mintes after registration.

Or maybe even after their first post.

That would also save on resources.

Three minutes after registration would be nice. And of course before first post.

I just added that "after the first post" thing because it would be easier.

Most people on my boards do not post and my private mail is getting them to post, posting statistics from new members increased significantly after installing automatic welcome pm plugin.

By default this is 0, eg. don't send PMs.

I don't see a place in there to set the sender ID. I'm on beta 4.

Welcome PM for Users added through ACP is not yet a feature.

You can set the Sender ID in ACP / vBulletin Options / vBulletion Options / User Registration Options
