FROM AmyKhar
"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."

You can set the ForumID, UserID and Username in VBoptions

on register it sends the Thread to moderations so you can customize it.

I'll be adding a second release soon with that functionality removed.

Thanks to AmyKhar for the original hack and Nick for his excellent debugging skills and intuitive coding.

Co-Author Nick of VBnova

Thanks for sharing.

Can this be set to create the Welcome Thread *after* email activation and after the user has been moderated (on forums that have user moderation turned on?) In other words, when their user group is finally changed to "Registered."

If not, the thread is created prematurely and will introduce more awkwardness than anything. Why would any admin want threads created for every new signup... when some of them don't end up becoming registered users after all?

Why remove that functionality?
because some people will not want that functionality so I will have two Releases.

this in effect does post after user moderation/email activation because it sends the thread to moderation. So you dont have to let it be posted until after you moderate the appropriate user or let it be posted until activation is complete.

later I will post directions on adding the email activation functionality.

I agree i would prefer to see it after email validation and not sent to moderation.

Also could we have a global variable that could be inserted in the welcome PM, directing them to the new thread ? We could then include in the welcome PM something like

We have started a new topic for you at XXXXXXX to welcome you to our website, please, if you can find the time, drop in and tell us a little about yourself.

Where XXXXXXX is the link to the new thread of course.
