PM to New Members [Added Support for 2.0 RC3]

[Slaapkopf]

Thank you .

This is a great mod! Only question: might it be possible to set a delay time for when this is sent? As it is now, AS SOON as a member registers, they receive the PM. Most people understand this means a computer is sending the PM and makes it not feel personal. If there could be a timed delay of maybe 9 hours or 18 hours, I think it would make the PM feel like it was sent personally from the admin to that member. The reason I suggest 9 hours or 18 hours is because a "clean" time of 24 hours or something might be noticeable as well.

Doesn`t seem to work for me ......
i have tested with a fake member but no pm received .....

i have set id of sender 0
name of sender a name that doesn`t exist in forum
is this ok?

[KahneFan]

You should at least set it to 1, which should be you. You want, and probably need, at least SOME member's name on the PM being sent.

Hope you are getting in to some new ways of attracting users.

But sure they may remain for max 12 mins in my site.

If they've taken the time to register, they may not post, but they usually return at least a couple more times.

You can't use 0, you have to use a bigger number

I don't have the time to add that feature also I want of this mod keeps simple, I don't think of a lot of people think of that is useful

Question:
Should a new member besides a PM also automaticaly receive a notification email that they have a PM waiting for them to see?

(I do see that the PM is sent to the new member, but the member doesn't get a notification email.
When I send a PM manually to that member, the member does receive a notification email. )

@NIBOGO This is a marvelous mod and it should be the default feature of SMF.

I have suggestion and Request which is indeed a must have.
There should be a check uncheck option where we can choose
that either save this greeting personal message in database or
just send it? Like we have option in Personal area to save it in
SENT items..

My forum has daily 40 to 80 new registerations and my personal
Meassege Table is getting bigger and bigger due to this...

Can you suggest me that how and where i can chnage its value to 0
quickly so that i can stop it on my forum...

What do you mean with "we can choose that either save this greeting personal message in database or just send it?" I really don't undestand what are you looking for, I mean the only part of this mod add values in the DB is the PM'S of each member, obviouslly if you don't add this value they never will see the welcome message

Ohh i am so sorry brother for my misunderstanding
Actualy i thought that Pm's saved in database are My sent
items ( as i am the sender in mod ) but i was wrong its
inbox items of recipients, So evrything is fine. Please ignore
my foolish reply

Maybe because this mod only works for SMF 2.0, try the PM on Registration for your versions works great
