Cool Surfer Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 It would be good thing to have auto welcome pm (configurable via admin cp) because when a visitor registers, it feels good when you ar welcomed. .... juts human psychology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henke37 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I still think that this should be a modification. But what about some bundled modifications? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziv Grosu Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 +1 It can be installed as a built-in feature (there should be an option to enable/disable Welcome P.Message). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama Gail Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I agree there are some clients like myself that use the hosted version and can't add in modifications, so if some of these things were added as part of the admin panel than we too would be able to use them.

I imagine this could be done via the hooks system in IPB3 fairly easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew-T Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Sounds good to me. It should have off/on switch if Admin dose not want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew-T Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 same with auto-birthday messages.. Edit: Threw The PM? Maybe that can done threw a Mod or Hooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyF Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I imagine this could be done via the hooks system in IPB3 fairly easily I think the same. Should be reasonably easy to do with 3.0. I know there are a few modifications about that you can use for this on 2.3.x... Am about 50/50 on whether I would like something like this built in or not. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jυra Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I would love to have this built in, but it would only lead to people ignoring them. If something like this is added, make the default welcome PM say "Edit this" instead of a generic welcome message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCWT Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 +1 and upon the first login, there should be some text instructing the member to change their profile, options via hyperlinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jυra Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Wouldn't this all lead to members getting emails? I'd picture a lot of people hitting the spam button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Welcome PM might be nice, birthday PM is ok (but to me pointless).. But what I'd like to see most is the validation routine improved quite a bit. Currently when you validate you get this little tiny message after the registration script. After you leave that message, you never see it again. If you login, you just see a "Resend Validation" link. What I'd rather see is have the system auto-login the person who's registered and display a message about validating under the member bar. This message is always seen on every page under the member bar so they don't forget to validate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Depot Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 If you're going to have a welcome PM you may as well go for the birthday autogreeter and happy anniversary too. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrixieTang Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I wouldn't mind these built in, but I doubt they will be, probably be left as mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 These features seem like perfect candidates for modifications to me and I'm sure there will be a few pop up really quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China J Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 These features seem like perfect candidates for modifications to me and I'm sure there will be a few pop up really quickly. LOL, they are all currently mods by Michael aka Fusoya for 2.3.x - I'm sure he will have no issues upgrading them all for 3.0.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool Surfer Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I get at least 20-35 birthday emails from forums a year. That's what I meant. You would have received only one email authentication/verification email before this when you sign up. Then this one. VB even welcomes you after you verify ur email. Well..... if you dont want your members to get this email, thenhow bout a welcome PM ? :cool: Anyway, forums are all about posting, subscribing to replies and receiving notifications. You cant really enjoy a forum if you dont like receiving emails. The only exception would be whnen you join a warez forum or something like tht, you say thank you get the link to download n never bother to check the reply.

QUick reply, ajaz quixk reply, PM system for private convo, getting email notifications, multiple quotes, codes, iframes, all these i am sure were added to forum scripts as they must have been suggested by members. So first there must have been mods, then later added as part of forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
