What this does?

This will add a new profile comment to every newly registered member.

How to Install/Configure?

1. Import the product through vbulletin product manager.
2. vBulletin Options->Automatic Profile Commenter and configure
3. That is it!

Hack options?

1. Master Enable/Disable
2. UserID to send comment from
3. Message that you want in the welcome profile message (BBCode Allowed).
   1. You can now use the following
      • {username} - username of the newly registered user
      • {sitename} - name of your forums
      • {siteurl} - URL to your forums.

New Features?

1. 1.2 - Allows the use of variables to pull your website name
2. 1.1 - Allows the use of smilies

Please click INSTALL if you like and use.

Would it be possible to create 3-4 different messages which could be generated at random to the new users ?
Sending the same message to all new users would defeat the object of a personal welcome comment in their profile !
Yes, I realise we can change it perhaps once a month, but as time goes by, its another item that gets forgotten

Clicked install :up:

I assume this doesn't work with 3.6.8? Does anyone know if there is anything like this that does? I have searched but cannot find anything. Thanks.

Nice little mod. Thanks.

There is no visitor message system in 3.6.8, it was introduced in 3.7 beta.

[Michael Biddle]

Thanks all for installing so far.

And as poprulz said, their is no visitor message system in 3.6.x.

@TTG: I might think of that later, but not at this time.

Exellent, this will hopefully allow new members after they sign up to view the profiles better and explore the site more. Will be installing this one for sure. thanks.

That's a pretty good idea, I hope the next version introduces this feature.

Installed, thanks!
