On lines 493-495, try changing

			  $emails = $DB_site->query("SELECT email,username FROM user WHERE userid='$u'");
			  $email = $emails[email];
			  $username = $emails[username];

to this

			  $email = $userinfo[email];
			  $username = $userinfo[username];

It seems odd that no one else ran across this error mine...is no one else using email verification? Or is it just no one has installed it? Anyway I fixed the problem both in the instructions and the zip file.

Oh oh......I just had a new member sign up and I received the welcome email! LOL Time to go look at the code again....

Why not use $bbuserinfo[userid] and $bbuserinfo[email]. Would cut down on the number of queries needed in fact it should eliminate any extra queries.

These should contain valid data if the member is already registers.

I prefer to wait the final release before install this hack cause the final release come soon ...i hope

$userinfo contains the same info during verification

  $userinfo=verifyid("user",$u,1,1);

which is why I used that. The other time it would happen (when verification is not required) I don't use any queries.

Rob: I think I found the problem, maybe. On line 497, try changing this

	          mail($newuseremail,$subject,$message,"From: \"$bbtitle Mailer\" <$webmasteremail>");

to this

	          mail($email,$subject,$message,"From: \"$bbtitle Mailer\" <$webmasteremail>");

Nice job once again Kevin. Works great. I verified it with different email addresses. thanks!!!

Thanks for the hack, Kevin! I was looking for something like this, but unfortunately, there isn't really a need, IMO, because you can vBulletin to verify all new user's e-mail, but just change the permissions so users awaiting e-mail confirmation can still view everything. Then, just edit the confirmation templates and viola, you have your own welcome message.

I followed this to a T...NOTHING! I tried it several times tonight and got NO email!

I KNOW I did everything like you said, but it still doesnt work! It is checked YES in the CP and register.php was saved and uploaded to the server to the admin area.

I really want this to work...it would save me from doing it manually (Which I do EVERYTIME a new user signs up)!
