This will force new members to fill out an intro when they register to your site. Very handy to make sure they are seen and with luck helps them feel welcome.
To install:
Create a new multiple-line text box profile field with the following settings.
Title: (your choice but should reflect it is intro)
Description: (once again your choice)
Max length: (has to be more then your minimum you will set later)
Field Required:Yes, at registration and profile updating
Private field: yes (can be no if you wish)
Rest of the fields are at your discretion. Make sure you make note of the new field id
Import product-introonregister in Manage Products
Now go to vBulletin Options->Into On Register Option and set the values.
Thats it, I have been using it for some time and thought others may like it.

Well, you're probably running into the same issues reported here before, but problem is the hack doesn't look like it's still supported, even if it's tagged as it would be.
I am attempting to fix all issues and get ahold of the addon developer to get permission to take over this addon.
Ok, my issue with this mod is, that while I love the concept, it is ripe for spammers to exploit...the problem is that I require email activation and this allows posts without activation being nweccessary meaning that anybody could make thread just making a false registration. Good idea but unpractical for my needs.

You are incorrect, if you have those set to go into a forum where its moderated and no one else can see it then how will spammer know it exists unless you openly state that it happens. Going into a moderated forum is safe and keeps spammers from exploiting it.
Here is a fix for Forced Intro on Register, this will fix all the of the listed problems above. If everyone likes, please don't hesitate to donate to help keep me and my site going for these type of fixes and addons.
Go to: AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Manage Products > Add/Import Product
Browse to get the file then make sure you select YES for Allow Overwrite then click Import.
Yes I can confirm. My newest members are now automatically subscribed to the thread that is generated during registration. They are showing one post and the are finding the thread and replying back. IT is an awesome mod
You can see my many posts above begging for a fix. I really needed this mod to work.
Steve M spent a lot of time working on this fix for me. Please help support his efforts by donating. Also if you are looking for a good coder for other fixes and customization to mods, PM Steve M. He does excellent work.
