Features / Usability

Clausen is correct. I just confirmed on our 1.9.9 install that TW erroneously records the username as the password when a user self-registers and "admin must validate" is turned on, but this failure does not occur if "admin must validate" is turned off. When it was turned on, I was able to successfully log in with a test account if and only if I entered the username in both the username and password fields in the login module. The password that I had created in the registration page did not work.

Since we're probably not going to upgrade until 1.10 is fully released and stable, can anyone recommend a workaround that will allow us to keep "admin must validate" on, and won't require each user to employ the "forgot my password" feature? Will Zeladin's hack from a few posts up work?

Thx,
