No support by the author.

This little mod will start a new thread in the forum of your choice when somebody registers.

The thread message is contained in a template, and easily customizeable on your part.

This version posts the thread when the user registers - but before he activates his email address.

Thanks to flypaper for providing a bugfix.

Installation Instructions: Import the product. Change the welcome_thread template to suit your needs. Change the setup variables in the welcome thread plugin to suit your needs.

Amy

Untested, but this should fix it. That's how I run this hack too.

Just a thought!
I believe I saw a hack that did that, you'll just have to search around.

Is there a possibility to update this mod so it will pick the poster ID and user name from a static list?

I want to thank you again for such a wonderful hack. I can't beleive how much of a difference it has made on my forum. It has gotten the majority of newbies to get involved and has even gotten my regular's involved in welcoming them as well.

So you want the thread to show, but the forum to NOT increase its post count OR the user's post count? I'm sure that could be done, but may I ask why?
