New Posting Features - Welcome Thread Upon Registration

Welcome Thread Upon Registration

This mod creates a welcome thread when a new member registers.

Features controlled via the ACP (See screenshot)

- Thread Title
- Thread Message
- Forum Location
- Post Icon
- Which User Creates Thread
- Thread Placed In Moderation
- Create Thread Before/After Email Activation
- Have a Random Title
- Have Random Thread Content
- Post From a Random Member
- Post a Random Icon

When is the thread created?

You now have the choice via the ACP! A thread can be created as soon as a member registers, or if you use email activation on your board, you can have the thread created once they have activated their email.

Boards that require an admin to approve new users

This mod has an option to place new threads into moderation. Once the new user has been approved via an admin, you can then release the new thread.

New Features in Version 1.2

Does your welcome forum look a little bit "samey" like this?


Same old thread title, same old post icon, same old user posting the thread and when you go inside it has the same old content?

Well maybe I could interest you in the latest version of this mod!



You decide on four titles and the content of four threads! You can also select the UserID's of who you want the threads to be created by. You can also select to have random post icons! - All controlled via the ACP.

Its all random. Thread title one doesnt belong to thread content one and thread title two doesnt belong to thread content two. With this mod when a member registers, thread title one may be posted with the contents of thread content four and thread title three might be posted with thread content two etc. The same goes with the UserID's and the post icon.

Screenshots
The screenshots show the ACP in version 1.2. I was unable to fit it all into one image, so had to split the image in half.

Although I have marked this as supported im a very new coder and this is my first release. I have tested it by signing up over 100 users on my test board and as yet there have been no glitches.
If there are any errors, I will try my best to resolve them, however as being new im still learning the ropes.

can we have it where it says there information? like when they register and the thread is posted inside the thread it says
"Hey im Username, i am Age, my email is Email@Email.com"
so like it already makes the total introduction ?
sorry if this question was already posted

Posted this over three weeks ago...absolutely no response from developer.

Needles to say...uninstalled and the mod and support were appropriately rated...

[christon26]

I've read through this entire thread...I installed this yesterday, had it set to post the thread *after* registration...each thread came with a duplicate thread that had no username in it, ip addresses of ALL the new members I welcomed (since it was set to post from my username) were ALL associated with my username, and the titles were all the same...no randomness as yet lol.... some of these issues have been posted by several others before me and not answered yet the mod says it's supported...will there be any support forthcoming for the issues posted?

I have uninstalled this mod for now...would be awesome if the remaining issues could be fixed

[Merjawy]

Where did he go? we lost him .. UnInstalled for now.. I really like it but that bug is buggin me

[Stifmeister2]

Yeah, the support has been very bad lately.

[Itchy Nips]

does anyone know if its possible to include the referrers username if the newly registered user filled in that field? If they didnt fill it in, I'd like it not to appear.

is this possible?

[choccyclaire]

I just installed this and it's started making random threads with no username inserted. I didn't even get a new member! Shame. Uninstalled for now.

[Saviour]

This mod needs to be dumped into the graveyard...since, obviously, there's absolutely no support...and many users are having issues with it.

[Stifmeister2]

I don't have any issues, except for the wrong IP thing.
