XF 2.1 Welcome emails or redirects

[Jon12345]

On my old vBulletin forum, when a member joined I would point them to a particular forum post where I list what they should do. Is this possible with Xenforo?

Ah, that's a shame. I found it really useful to force people to read an introductory thread. I will sen an email instead, for now. Hope it reappears.

I use a big fat notice for new users to do this.

Just to be clear, you use a notice rather than an alert?

Yes because it was in answer to this:

I would love to add a button saying, "Read this first".

That's the closest relevant solution, I don't see how an alert would work - you cannot "create" an alert for new members. Of course if the welcome conversation was there, that would have its own alert but I can only think of a notice with link button (that shows based on usergroup) as the closets and easiest solution.

I will do the notice thing then. Thanks for that.
