• BUT: No password and no email is being stored!! This means: After disabling the bridge you will have to add email addresses manually, so users can press "Send Password"

Btw: Really don't know when bepe will have time again to continue his work... I don't have the know-how yet and perhaps will not continue to use MediaWiki...

Appreciate the reply. Only thing required after this in that case would be to create a query to add the email addresses from the forum DB to the wiki DB.

Mind if I ask what you plan to use if not MediaWiki ? I'm wondering whether to use this or just install MediaWiki on its own and then use a bridge (only downfall being that integration for searching etc is lost).
