    Welcome PM heck!

    Hi,

    I think I can request a heck here in this forums. I am currently looking for a heck for my site. I want to send a welcome PM automatically as soon as the new member joins the forums. It is same as what VBWebmaster has implemented.

    Could anybody point me to an url where I can find this heck?

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards,
    Sonia

    That was quick.

    BTW, I also looking for "similar threads" heck that you have installed. I tried searching this on vBulletin.org but could not find the same. Could you please let me know where did you get this heck?

    Thanks in advance once again

    its not a hack - its comes with vb.

    go to AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Message Searching Options

    Look for Automatic Similar Thread Search and select Yes

    Thanks Joeychgo! I have just installed Welcome PM heck and it working find.

    Similar Threads: I have followed the steps you have told but when I goto my forums I don't see Similar Threads at the bottom. Does it take sometime after I enable the same?

    Nope - should be available as stock install. As Joey pointed out try:

    AdminCP > vBulletin Options >
    Message Searching Options > Automatic Similar Thread Search to "Yes"

    That should do the trick...
