Stop "welcome" email

Hi again,

Is there a way to stop UseBB sending the "welcome" email when a new user registers? This is causing me problems because I don't run a mail server on my system and my ISP's smtp sever will soon be requiring a password to access it and PHP does not provide for that.

Apart from upcoming problems with my ISP's closed smtp server the fact is that I don't really want to send a welcome email since my board is only really there for a few friends and family members.

If there is no switch for this (and I cannot see one) is there a simple hack I can do to the source? Hopefully as easy as commenting out the line that says "send welcome email" :)

Regards,
Mark.

Comment out the
$functions->usebb_mail()
code blocks in sources/panel_register.php or put
return;
at the beginning of the usebb_mail() function in sources/functions.php to disable it completely.
