This little mod will start a new thread in the forum of your choice when somebody registers.
The thread message is contained in a template, and easily customizeable on your part.
This version posts the thread when the user registers - but before he activates his email address.
Thanks to flypaper for providing a bugfix.
Installation Instructions: Import the product. Change the welcome_thread template to suit your needs. Change the setup variables in the welcome thread plugin to suit your needs.

Apparently that'll let it work with moderation turned on... haven't had a chance to test it myself.
I installed the xml file from above

after you install it you can just move its hook to register_addmember complete and I believe that will trigger it after the user has been approved if not Ill have to go look at it more in depth later
I checked the hook location and it's already set to register_addmember_complete. It's still creating the welcome thread prior to moderation/account approval.
Oh well, we'll just manually create a new thread for each new person.

Ouch. Bummer. I really wish I could use an add-on like this, but with the thread starting after the user moderation has been approved.
Thanks for the feedback, though. I appreciate it and saves me much hassle.
i would go ahead and port this to 3.6, but it appears as though amykhar is already doing so to some of her hacks... and i don't want to step on any toes.

The reports I have are that it works as written on 3.6. No need to port. Just install and use. I don't generally repost the mods in the 3.6 section if they don't need changes to work. If it doesn't work in 3.6, let me know and I'll look at it. I no longer use it at my site.

I have installed this on 3.6.1 and all was fine....except it is creating a thread from an unknown user 'Lullaby' and the thread is not in a forum. I canno view / admin / moderate this thread as it gives me a message syaing I need to be admin even though I am.
The hack is also posting the correct welcome message as well.

Same for me, running 3.6.2. Works fine but it posts the welcome thread instantly and I don't want it to do so until they have responded to the email verification.
I'm using this and it works great. I still have the problem though of it posting the thread as SOON as they register and I would like it to not post until they have confirmed the email confirmation. Can somebody help with this?
Also, I would like to add one thing to the thread title or subject. Where it now says Welcome: Newuser....I would like it to also add the location of the user..for example. Welcome: Newuser from location How would I do that?
