Thanks.

What the plan is...create one, or find one!!

Due time, hopefully the latter.

So, with the proviso that I haven't looked at the VBulletin that much yet, and keeping my head above water paddling like mad right now...

Plan to make the registration in the "public" ie accessable area - using the VBulletin and write to the htaccess txt file, too. Seems to be the simplest. Changes to the password would change the profile, and the text file.

I want to add a random character to the requested password, so that the email notification is required with the user's valid email address to make the password work, likely using the rand().

I have this all set up in cgi, but will have to modify it. Rather than do that, I'll just hack the VBulletin, when I can get my PHP up to speed - being kind of Perl cgi oriented right now.

I have all this working in Perl, but the script is just scalable enough in the CPU resources the cgi demands with a high refresh rate at peak.

IF someone has seen the hack PLEASE let me know, and save me duplicating it.

Thanks.
