Default PM to New Users - Templated

This is largely the work of Sparkz, in this thread:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=34498

I wanted to use this hack but felt it was a bit cumbersome since it used text files instead of the vB templates. This is a re-write and should be quicker and easier to install.

It also sends the PM after writing the user, not after activiation-- so it won't matter if you have email activation turned on or not. Also there is optional code to make the pmpopup work if you like.


Steps for installation:

-add two templates 'newpm_message' and 'newpm_title'
-edit one file 'register.php'
