Automated Private Messages: New Members and Moved Threads
 

I installed a few new hacks for automated private messages. The first one is a welcome message to new members that join the forum. It provides a direct link to the Welcome, Welcome forum and tells them who to contact if they have any problems.

The second hack is for a new automated PM for when a thread is moved. We all know how ugly those redirects are, right? When we don't use them it's sometimes hard to find where your thread went. Now when a moderator moves your thread they will automatically PM you a link to your thread and the new forum it's in so there isn't any confusion.

I guess this isn't exactly new since we had these automated PMs back before we upgraded to vb3, but it's still nice to have them back!

I really LIKE this addition. I am glad to see someone is automating a PM to the new members to direct them to the appropraite forum. Thats really a nice feature, even if they ignore it.

And I have also been completely confused on a thread redirect too. Does it only go out to the thread maker??

This addition is fucking retarded. If I want to keep track on my moved or redirected thread, I can do that in my profile. What's next, a Pineapple Juice Machine or what?

But what about the NEW MEMBERS feature, you sarcastic brat?

What what

I mean, cool, a hello welcome msg~
They'd be happier if we sent them money transfers or free iPods, you know...

The automated PMs are a good idea, especially for the missing threads and such. That's a good move. Also, on a totally unrelated note, Sassafrass has a humorous avatar. :)

But doesn't that only work if you're subscribed to a thread?

Okay who the hell subscribes to his own threads???!!!

The same people who create threads in the wrong forums.

Are you fucking retarded?

No, you can easily use the ''Find all threads started by...'' link in your profile.
