Automated Welcome Private Message - Changed by Forumotion

Hi, I have set up an automated private message to be auto sent to the inbox of new members (giving them a few instructions and forum rules they need to be aware of).  

This has worked fine, right until the end of February 2015.

It now appears to have been automatically replaced by forumotion to the following: 

Auto Message wrote:Hello [user name]

Welcome on this forum, feel free to invite your facebook friends to participate!

I did not set it to send this message!

I checked in my ACP and my original auto private message is still the default message to be sent, yet it is being overridden by the above message.

Have you set the above as a default for ALL Forums?  How do I override it so that my message gets sent instead?

Thanks.

Really? I will have to look into this on my forum as well! If it is true that is not cool .

Post a screenshot of your welcome message from the administration panel.

In my 'PM 'Sent Box', instead of the above, the messages that have been sent recently are:

Welcome on this forum, feel free to invite your facebook friends to participate!

Do you have Facebook Connect activated?

Not as far as I know, I will have to go back and double check.

Okay, so it is activated:



However, surely this should not override the automated New Member PM?

It overrides I believe if someone does join via Facebook Connect.

@AlfredJPK55

An explanation was offered above.  

You are aware you were reply to a spambot right?

Hmm he didn't look like a spambot when I posted.. his post looked like a genuine message related to this topic, did not even look like spam.
