Edit Welcome Email in vBulletin

John Scott · 10-29-2006, 02:29 AM

Where would I go in vBulletin adminCP to edit the Welcome Email and the Post Reply Notification email?

WillL · 10-29-2006, 02:46 AM

I know this is "off topic" but a welcome pm is a lot better me thinks

**Cricket** · 10-29-2006, 02:50 AM

I could be completely wrong but I think John may mean the read me announcement post displayed at the top of each of forums.

For example this one:
http://www.v7n.com/forums/new-member...t-read-me.html

WillL · 10-29-2006, 02:52 AM

no , I think he means when you sign up..

**Cricket** · 10-29-2006, 02:54 AM

My only reason for saying that is that he has made recent changes in the forums and in the policies making the current read me announcement post out of date. My mistake.

WillL · 10-29-2006, 02:56 AM

I could be wrong.. too

John Scott · 10-29-2006, 03:00 AM

I was going to include a couple links in the Welcome Email, including the Forum Guidelines thread and the Signature Links thread.

**Cricket** · 10-29-2006, 03:02 AM

Sorry. My mistake.

John Scott · 10-29-2006, 03:04 AM

I want to do the "Welcome PM" thing, too, though. Anybody know how that is set up?

WillL · 10-29-2006, 03:13 AM

it's in the phrase system

John Scott · 10-29-2006, 03:19 AM

I guessed that, I'm looking for more specific direction.

WillL · 10-29-2006, 03:21 AM

options > phrase system

WillL · 10-29-2006, 03:22 AM

just jokin ,

ok go to
AdminCP , vBulletin Options , User Registration Options , Welcome Private Message

Set the username the PMs should be coming from there. If you want to adjust the text, click on the pm title and pm body links and write your text into the box for the English language.

Same thing for welcome emails, except that you have an option to send them or not, instead of inputing a username.

you love me

I WANT TO BE FIRST TO GET WELCOME PM1111!!

John Scott · 10-29-2006, 03:41 AM

Ah, thanks. Both the email and the PM option are in there.

WillL · 10-29-2006, 03:44 AM

I'm more sexy then helpful if that gives you an idea of ma sexyness.

would you like me to re register ? so I can see if it works?

John Scott · 10-29-2006, 05:05 AM

Please do

**Cricket** · 10-29-2006, 12:16 PM

You already know that the welcome announcement (read me) in each forum still invites them to set up their signature right after registering to join, right? It also discusses sponsors having access to the ambassadors forum.

Hey John,
From my forum knowlege, the Welcome Email message is usually stored in the templates page in the Admin. This is where you not only can edit the template for the emails, but as well as the overal forum skin.

As for your Welcome PM, that is a hack that you have to install yourself for the code, and is quite easy.

The last vB I used was way back and I believe the first 1.0 series

But this is where I got the mod for it at: http://www.vbulletin.org

Happy hunting!
