MyBB Community Forums

I want to show a custom message (preferably forum posting guidelines and rules) when a new user register and login to forum first time. Also is it possible to show that message for 4 to 5 days or for some fix time duration.

Thanks and Regards

This is not what you are looking for, but I think it will help you. Basically, this will sent out PM to new user when they register. Your PM can include guidelines and rules too..

Thanks for the reply jack,

I know there are lots of plugins and methods available to send PM/Mail to new registered user. Just I want to show the message at top of forum when they login first time without sending any email or PM.

Looking forward to the solutions.

you could use template conditionals

<if $mybb->user['regdate']< 86400*7 then>
Some message
</if>
