Full Version: lost password error
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
When I click on lost password (on my board) and respond to the email link:
http://MySite.org/forums/member.php?acti...e=BsHINY8Y the message on my board reads:
"You seem to have entered an invalid password reset code. Please re-read the email you were sent or contact the forum administrators for more help."

If I click on the other email link:
http://MySite.org/forums/member.php?acti...etpassword and enter the Activation Code I get:
It appears your account is already activated or does not require email verification.

Whats happening??
Is your account already activated?
Some more info to try and clarify whats going on.

When clicking on the link within the 'password reset email' that is received the page that loads is incomplete. The source code reads:


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<!-- start: error -->
<html>
<head>
<title><!-- start: redirect_passwordreset -->

<!-- end: redirect_passwordreset --></title>
<!-- start: headerinclude -->
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="general.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css.php?theme=4" />
etc.....[/color]

There is an empty space between <!-- Start and End redirect_passwordreset -->

so it would seem the code is not being called up. If i refresh the page it loads the error message.

"You seem to have entered an invalid password reset code. Please re-read the email you were sent or contact the forum administrators for more help."

An new email follows with a New Password for the account which works fine when entered. This process will of course be confusing for users.

any clues?
Was there ever a fix found for this?
I am using the latest version 1.2.1 with the latest bug fixes.

On my BB the reset password email links still do not work. on three occasions now I have had to manulay reset users passwords for them.
Can you post a link to the forum?
