Step 1: Open template register ,then find and delete this:

<script type="text/javascript">
function verify_passwords(password1, password2)
{
// do various checks, this will save people noticing mistakes on next page
if (password1.value == '' || password2.value == '')
{
alert('$vbphrase[fill_out_both_password_fields]');
return false;
}
else if (password1.value != password2.value)
{
alert('$vbphrase[entered_passwords_do_not_match]');
return false;
}
else
{
<if condition="$show['coppa']">
pass_copy = password1.value;
passconfirm_copy = password2.value;
</if>

var junk_output;

md5hash(password1, document.forms.register.password_md5, junk_output, $show[nopasswordempty]);
md5hash(password2, document.forms.register.passwordconfirm_md5, junk_output, $show[nopasswordempty]);

<if condition="$show['coppa']">
document.forms.register.password.value = pass_copy;
document.forms.register.passwordconfirm.value = passconfirm_copy;
</if>

return true;
}
return false;
}
</script>
onsubmit="return verify_passwords(password, passwordconfirm);"

<input type="hidden" name="passwordconfirm_md5" />

<td>
$vbphrase[confirm_password]:<br />
<input type="password" class="bginput" name="passwordconfirm" size="25" maxlength="15" value="$passwordconfirm" />
</td>

Step 2: In the register.php file find and delete this parts of code:

'passwordconfirm' => TYPE_STR,
'passwordconfirm_md5' => TYPE_STR,
OR (empty($vbulletin->GPC['passwordconfirm']) AND empty($vbulletin->GPC['passwordconfirm_md5']))
// check for matching passwords
if ($vbulletin->GPC['password'] != $vbulletin->GPC['passwordconfirm'] OR (strlen($vbulletin->GPC['password_md5']) == 32 AND $vbulletin->GPC['password_md5'] != $vbulletin->GPC['passwordconfirm_md5']))
{
$userdata->error('passwordmismatch');
}

Just out of curiosity, why wouldn't you want Verification?

[Floris]

The people who are going to use this forum are unexperienced with the internet and forums. They have to be provoked to join and the less things / steps to do / take the better. It is a thing they simply don't understand (why do i need to type it twice?) .. we thin kfrom admin point of view, but this forum is a all end-user view perspective. The spam issue,.. is issue for the hired mods, not for the users. We even skip the forum rules using &amp;agree=1

Floris,

Your link isn't working properly at the moment.....

register.php??do=register&agree=1

There are two '?' so the 'do' and 'agree' arguments are lost and you get the forum rules again :D

Just thought i'd let you know :)

I suppose that makes sense Floris; I guess I'm just stuck thinking from an administrative point of view and the endless number of people asking why there password isn't working.

why wouldnt there password work?

[Hornstar]

why wouldnt there password work?

Because they could easily misspell it and not know because there would be no check in place. and these users would then have no idea how to reset their password if they are not very forum based people in the first place.
