3. Q: When I try to install this, I get "Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/functions.php on line xxx".

4. 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?

Is it possible to send autopm even if the user is not confirmed yet?

In this way I can remember him to confirm. (Yes, I installed Welcome Headers too.)

I still can't get this to work.

When I enter the user i.d which should be shown as the sender of the PM and save it, it says '0'

Tried making a new test account, never received the welcome PM

Thanks for the heads up, I was wanting to know that. I imagine just inputing the member username for the sender enables the Welcome PM in the User Registration options?

[sunnycher]

This hack is awesome! I love it. But just one thing, when i use those links there i can edit the phrases i just get a box with this text 'No Phrases Matched Your Query'
Some help wouldn´t be bad.

Sincerly,
Tonkan.
