Hi,

I am using 7.6 and for some reason, users can't see the option to get their lost password sent to them.

I have changed the e-mail notification settings, and this did not make a difference. Does anyone else have the "lost" lost password option?

Thanks,

Steve

They must enter their email id in profile to get this feature.

The E-Mail is in the profile. It shows right up. It is required in my forum that you have e-mail validation of your accounts...

On this forum, if I go to the login page, I see a "Forgotten your password?" link.

In 7.6 on my site, that link is altogether missing.

Does anyone else not have this link?

Thanks (and a little confused),

Steve

1. Check you have specified SMTP Server

2. Have you used any skin for v7.5 ?

Hi India,

I found it. It WAS that e-mail notification setting after all. I got that confused with the setting to require e-mail registration to post to a forum.

Maybe e-mail notification should not have an affect on lost passwords in future versions? See, I had to shut off e-mail notifications because of so many bounced mails flooding the admin box. So I am kind of stuck here... Unless I maybe uncomment out the "if" statement?

Thanks for your help,

Steve
