Please check screenshots. You turn it on or off in AdminCP, under User Registration Options, and just check NO.

Is there a Way when they have to fill in the welcome thread part to complete registration?

yup, totally. That was what i was thinking when i coded version 2. if users do not fill out title + message field, it would return error; however, but I didn't have time to check all input and stuffs, besides, it may annoy the ppl.

okay another question. I just finished Installing Version 2.the whole zip hack everything went smoothly. But i went to test the haack out it was successful but its not sending the Post to the Forum. I did the installer i wasnt sure if i had to do anything with the update.txt

You gotta enter forumid where Welcome Thread to be created in. default forumid I used was 2, but you can change to whatever forumid that fits your board.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
