What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps me know how many people are using my work, giving me extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

I appreciate the support!

sorry meant working lol i just need the variable for musername

my bad edited post#9

i have mine setup a bit different then this mod, forcing newly registered members to post a introduction in a certain thread before they can view any other threads, then an autobot set to reply with a message of your linking...

although this mod makes a nice welcome thread for lazy admins...

[ozzy47]

Ahh ok glad to hear it is working, and thanks for marking as installed.

[CharlieDelta]

Great mod Ozzy! This is a very useful mod in my opinion.
I would install this but already have a mod that does this as part of a package.

[ozzy47]

That's cool, I am pretty sure I know what package that was.

[RPSmedia]

Going to install this today. I think this is a great idea to get people to welcome new members since that seems to make them happy they joined.

[ozzy47]

Yeah, there was some mods that did this, but they all seem to be gone, or not working.

When you do install, don't forget to mark it as such.
