This has been possible for a while, it is in the instructions, you just need to do a manual template edit to the template(s) you want it in.

The back link to the forum is definitely needed on my site. Having the user go up to the menu to click befuddles some of the older generation. The redirect gets them there and they don't need to view the user name and password which will be emailed to them.

Spam is a problem on numerous big boards. I've got friends who are experiencing a solid number of spammers defeating the captcha. I find that if I change the questions, it minimizes the spam since these spammers must have an smart remember entry to their forum spam. So the captcha can work, it just has to be there and implemented along with SFS.

I still think this is a phenomenal mod and deserving of MOM, which I noted this month.

Not sure we're talking about the same thing. This mod (RFR) ignored whether Email Confirmation is turned on or not. In RFR after a user submits the form they have to read the info that comes up. In most cases it tells them they need to check their email for their password then come back and log in.

If you are someone who tells them their password immediately then they still need time to copy it down and log in.

In either case they need time to read the message. A link back to forum home is fine, but an automatic redirection would not leave most people enough time to realize what is going on since most people won't be used to this mod.
