I'm not sure what you mean by post in welcome center???

To send a PM automatically when someone registers, login to your ACP and find User Registration Options.

Scroll down to Welcome Private Message and edit it accordingly.

The thread message is contained in a template, and easily customizeable on your part.

This version posts the thread when the user registers - but before he activates his email address.

Thanks to flypaper for providing a bugfix.

the welcome message so you can see, in 3.8.1 vb board

PHP:

We're a friendly bunch and we welcome newcomers to the

why would you del them?
those things don't have to do anything with the product, it's just to let you know what those lines for so it would be easy for you to del them when you're done from the hack.
It's your choice, but I always do this so I know what those lines for.
Wanna del, just del the whole two lines and they're gone
