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!

You have seen it create threads for previously registered users?
Yes, I already reported this, but you obviously forgot it.
Anyway, I first reported it in this post:

I just had one of the first users on my site to have problems with his email address, so I informed him about this. He changed email address and when he confirmed new email address, thread was created.
I use option that thread is created when they confirm email address, so this triggers new thread even when old user confirms new email address.
After some time, as there was no workaround, I suggested this:

- Put 1 (Yes) in all already existing users fields, so there wouldn't be new welcome threads for old users.
- When there's new email confirmation, check also if already welcomed field for that user is set to Yes, or if it is still No (0). If still No, create new welcome thread.
- After you create welcome thread for user, change status of his already welcomed field to Yes (1).
This would prevent multiple welcome threads when old users confirm new email addresses.
It would be really great if old users don't get welcome thread when changing (actually, when confirming new) email addresses.

Starter of a thread in these sections see a bit more info in a postbit. You see if someone clicked install or not.
Ok good stuff Ozzy ! ...works good now ...Quick question ... if I change all the instances in the new XML file of $username to $musername will that be enough to get the HTML markup of the usergroups?
