 * I’m developing a site and have WP_DEBUG set to true. Whenever I test new user
   registration, I get the following message:
 * > Notice: update_usermeta is deprecated since version 3.0! Use update_user_meta()
   > instead. in /hsphere/local/home/mwllawyer/mwl-law.com/wp-includes/functions.
   > php on line 2839 Notice: update_usermeta is deprecated since version 3.0! Use

   > editor/sb_welcome_email_editor.php on line 254
 * It doesn’t look like it would be too much for you to update, so would you be 
   able to update your plugin to use the suggested “update_user_meta” instead of
   the deprecated “update_usermeta”?
 * Thanks,
    Faison
