My first hack. :p

Well, I do not know if this has been done before, but oh well.

This hack was made using vBulletin 2.0.3. I have no idea if it works with earlier versions.

Download the index.php (index.php3) file and make a backup of it.

Look for the line that says.

PHP Code:

$forumbits=makeforumbit(intval($forumid), 1, $permissions); 

Now add this right below it.

PHP Code:

$uaec='';
 if($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==3) {
      eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("forumhome_uaec")."\");");
    } 

It should be right above this line.

PHP Code:

$unregwelcomemessage='';
if ($bbuserinfo['userid']==0) {
  eval("\$unregwelcomemessage = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_unregmessage')."\";");
} 

Now make a template called forumhome_uaec. And put any message you want in it. Use $username so it will post that persons name.

Now upload the index.php file.

This is just some stupid little thing that makes it so the Users Awaiting E-Mail Conformation or whatever it's called not able to view the forum until they activate their account. They can still view everything else, just not the main forum. Not what I was trying to make, but it'll do for now. .
