The released version of the plugin doesn’t say it works for BP 1.1, so YMMV.
I’m not sure if my SVN is set for public access, but if it is and you know what SVN is, you can grab a copy of the version I intend to release when BP 1.1. comes out:

Ok sorry, i have not seen this Your trunk needs an htaccess login.
Just pushed up a new version of Welcome Pack for BP 1.1.
Thanks! I was just going to ask you about it!
Thank you for working on this problem!
BP1.1.1, Welcome Pack 1.41
In case it helps, see the activation email that I get below, it gives up at the link. This message gets sent even though I had skip activation email selected, and no email stating username and password is sent.

So that happens when as a blog admin you send someone new an invite join your blog, from the admin backend? But that when Welcome Pack is active, the link breaks?
Yep, I go to the main blog via Users menu (not site admin>users) and input the username and email address, select skip confirmation email, send. I get all of the notifications welcome pack sends out EXCEPT the email with username & randomly generated password that should replace that activation email shown above. (I’m thinking this is a wordpress email? Not sure.)
The weird thing is when I do the same process from a sub-blog everything behaves the same except I DO get the email with the username & randomly generated password in addition.
In case it helps here’s what happens over 3 tests from each main & sub blog dashboards:
MAIN BLOG DASHBOARD:
1. Broken activation email – came first all 3 times
2. Then these 3 come, random order each time:
Welcome pack welcome email
Welcome pack friend invite email notification
Welcome pack group invite email notification
SUB BLOG NEW USER:
1. Broken activation email
2. Then these 4 come, random order each time:
Account is setup email with username and randomly generated password
Welcome pack welcome email
Welcome pack friend invite email notification
Welcome pack group invite email notification
When I use the site admin>users method it doesn’t engage with Welcome Pack, which is the same thing that happened in my previous version of BuddyPress. The activation email gets killed there too, just tested that.
I’m still lost. I also don’t really have time to look at this until the weekend sometime. Could you help me again please?
Yep, I go to the main blog via Users menu (not site admin>users) and…
Could you give me a sample link (feel free to cut your domain off the beginning), i.e. http://example.com/how_to/get_to_this/page. I’m being a noob and can’t see it
...EXCEPT the email with username & randomly generated password that should replace that activation email shown above. (I'm thinking this is a wordpress email? Not sure.)
Correct. Welcome Pack doesn’t (or shouldn’t) touch the activation email, which is why this issue is so weird-sounding.
You ARE aware since BP 1.1, if a new user registers via http://testbp.org/register, they are able to pick their password and as such it isn’t emailed to them? (Though they still get a confirmation/account activation email)
Sure, I understand thanks for your help. I’m going to do some more digging. It feels like this is shaping up to be a WPMU issue. Welcome Pack is sending out everything it’s supposed to, and the problem is still there when the plugin’s deactivated. Will let you know what I find out.
Thanks again.
Update:
There are 2 places in the WPMU Dashboard an admin can add a new user. Further up in the Site Admin>Users menu, and further down in Users>Add New. Welcome Pack is only activated if a user is added from the Users>Add New menu. And as mentioned above, that is where the glitch occurs.
In testing more thoroughly found the WPMU notifications work fine from both places in the Dashboard when BuddyPress is disabled. When BuddyPress is active the “Add New User” in WPMU develops the glitch as described above.
