Hi all,

Just converted to VB from Invision, and I absolutely love VB, it's well worth the money. I am in a bit of funk though regarding my users. I'm not looking forward to the amount of email asking why they can't login or whatnot.

I used Impex to convert my user database and board from Invision and one glaring thing that didn't work was passwords, meaning the passwords aren't converted, and all users must reset them.

Is there a way I can mass reset everyone's password and send them an automated email informing them of their new password? Just trying to cut down on all the steps it takes to reset your password. It's a panful process, I must admit. Maybe there's a hack to make it easier?

Any advice? Thanks! And thanks for this community, it's awesome!

Move everyone to the Awaiting Email Confirmation usergroup, then send out a password activation mail.
