    From MRO@1:103/705 to digital man on Monday, November 10, 2025 02:57:37
    so where do we put in feature requests on the git and can you please
    plut it on the wiki and the website? thanks


    also i think the password emailer should not ask for the user's email address because that fucks me up because i use email aliases and i cant remember them.
    :D

    thanks!

    https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/issues

    It's the link in the second paragraph at https://wiki.synchro.net/howto:support

    Then how would you know where to check/read that email with the password? The idea of user authentication is to get as much info from the user as possible without (or before) giving the user any personally-identifying info (like an email address).

    It could. It's a script, so I suppose the sysop easily has that
    option. I could make it a modopts setting, but it would default
    to off (requiring the user enter their email address, confirming
    their identity) - so probably not helping you with whatever password
    it is you're trying to recover.



    i dunno. i think you should just make it so it shoots the person the
    password when they say they forgot the pw. you dont have to show the email address and there's no harm done. even show in the email the ip
    address and say that 'if this wasn't you, you should know'.
    maybe have an option to email the sysop if there's another issue.

    i just think it would be more effective overall.
