Hi there, Just installed this an doesn't seem to be working. I've entered the moderator's email address and that all seems to be working. Can I have it send the information to more than one moderator?

Hi @pierre, no account creation will not be affected by this plugin.

Hi @Dav, no only one moderator is supported.

Cheers,
Bas

I am on 3.7 and this doesn't appear to work - no notification message was sent when I created a new account.

Hi Bas,
Since there is no other plugin which can provide custom profile fields to the welcom message, i've tried this plugin with 3.9. Does it have to be updated to get it to work in the latest Moodle versions?

Hello, is it possible to configure the message in multiple languages, so the new user will receive a message on the language that he/she used when created a new account?
