CB AutoWelcome Plugin 
A preview article of the plugin, its parameters and functionality is available in the dedicated forum area on Joomlapolis - http://www.joomlapolis.com/component/option,com_joomlaboard/Itemid,38/func,view/id,26063/catid,37/ !
Version 1.2 RC3 now available for CB documentation subscribers!
- This extension requires registration to download.
Nice to know free work is appreciated.
Sorry, have no experience with AEC ... waiting for Beat's subscription plugin to be released (ETA: end of 2007)
This plugin makes my admins and myself job easier. We can now focus more onto the site and the news and not having to worry about welcoming all the new users.
Was very easy to install and works like a charm.

Thank you for the nice review - yes the intent is to welcome and kick-start new site members in site functionality.
Glad to see you are putting this to good use - hope you remember the plugin developers and Joomla team when you start making money (hint)
for my crowing community site it is my job to say hello to each new user entering the community, give him same starting informations and establish the first connection so that he can imagine this nice functionality.
I done this for hundreds of users. every day the same boring procedure (that i like because of growing business).
From now on, I have no longer to spend my time for this job!!!
You will love "CB AutoWelcome Plugin" for doing these boring but very important job for you. I swear :-)
It is also easy to install and to configure.
Nant, this was a great job.
Many thanks!!!
Sunny regards from Germany

Glad you found this effort useful ... now if we can just find a way to force people to read what we send them during autowelcome instead of just rushing to spam forums and email boxes with questions that have been answered before ...
It could automatically send a connection request to new users which is really handy when you have a "support" user (who answer questions new users might have) make a connection to new users and could also make your site/community feel welcoming.
It does so many things, I suggest you should try it yourself and be the "new user" by signing up with joomlapolis to see how this extension work!
Yup, you can certainly give new users answers to frequently asked questions ... now getting people to actually read this before they jump to posting is the real challenge ...!!!
it's a great plugin and works very fine!!!
