Topic: forum password, has no password forgotten option?

hi
forum password, has no password forgotten option?
I see my email listed, but there is no link to request sending a new password. (in case I forget mine)

I searched my email folders, and did not see one what had sent me the verification email with password so many other BBS systems send.

since you are planning some BBS overhaul, this could be added?
Mikhelm might be less miffed...

I also have a suspicion that this BBS software is not exactly botproof, and think harvester bots can get to email adresses.

The answer was 42?
Kind regards, Jaak.

There's an antispam bot available, I may implement that in the future.

You can change your password in your profile! wink

Re: forum password, has no password forgotten option?

I just saw that main forum page login has the "forgotten" option.
I just had to login from testrig, and noticed this.

Maybe I'll tell mikhelm he can do that, logout, thne have it send him password

It really is there, jtdoom... Just click the Profile link at the top of the forum and then you'll see your username printed there. Below that there's a link titled "Change password". Do a ctrl+f for it to make sure you don't overlook it. I agree, it can be overlooked very easily.
