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!

must of been my bad, almost 40 registrations since I uploaded the new xml, not a single empty thread. looks to be all good in the hood. thanks oz.

[ozzy47]

Excellent, glad to hear.

So what I do to get tagging to work, I go back and edit the post and just add in "@" to the user name.... It works..

[ozzy47]

Well yeah, but that defeats the purpose of it being automated, plus if the user is already offline when you do that, they may not know.

Just noticed that welcome thread is also created if an old user confirms new email address.

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.

I'm sure the OzzMan will put out an update for this ....

[ozzy47]

Hmmm, I will have to see if there is a workaround for that.

Just had an issue one post was made with new user but then at the same time or right after it spammed 5 more post with user name missing and the only one person was new...

It's was and is set to created thread after email activation. I have had this happen before.

Use version that solves it: Link to the post it was given last time in attachment.
