I have a problem with this mod. I'm currently running SMF 1.1.5 with TP V. .98.  I followed directions but recently got a new member and it didn't do the welcome post. I've checked the settings and all systems are a go but it didn't go..LOL
Any ideas?

Same problem here... when I register a new member through he admin panel. No new post.  SMF 1.1.5 no TP.

I have selected the forum, and I have added a welcome message. 

sigh.

solved - sorry - thanks for yet another cool mod.

[treasurenet]

Is there any way to link to the new users profile in the welcome post?

Thanks for a cool mod!

[treasurenet]

SIGH.

p.s., I would also like the new users to be redirected to the new post!

[SMFHacks]

Add the two suggestions to the mod tracker. They can be done in the next update for the mod.

[treasurenet]

Thanks!  Done!

Installed Welcome Topic on SMF 1.1.5/TP 1.05 flawless. Ony thing what might not correctly is the use of more than one welcome topic. It seems is uses the last added topic in de config. I have two, but it uses only the one on the top of the list.

It might be coincidence, but I'm not sure.

I'll await a few new members en see what happens. If I create new (fake)accounts myself, the same topic is still used (the one on top of the topiclist) but the second one isn't used while posting a welcome topic.

How come?

What did you do? to get it to work?

[alan86]

I use smf 2.0 so I had to make the mod compatible with it.
Is it possible to redistribute it or I have to keep it only for me?

[SMFHacks]

Keep it for you for now. I plan to update the mod to SMF 2.0 shortly.

I am getting this error after installing this mod for through the SMF 2.0RC1 installer. When I installed it there were no errors? How can it be fixed?? Thanks.

hi!
i installed this mod on smf 2.0rc1 with runet theme.

The installation went fine... BUt the thing is when someone registers it does open a new topic but with no Nick in it.
The tag [username] isn't working.

any idea?

[Bergler]

That's the same problem I am having but know one wants to talk about it?   

Today I noticed there was a member waiting to be activated, so I did and the mod worked properly but...... again wish there was some support?? I has to be something simple, not my area of expertise!!

[SMFHacks]

Sorry haven't had time will try to look into the issue in the next couple of weeks
