Mini Mods - forgotten your password in header

Here's a simple template edit to provide better accessibility to the Forgot Password page.

Install:

Search in header-template

<li><a rel="help" href="faq.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase help}</a></li>

add below

   <li><a href="login.php?do=lostpw{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase forgotten_your_password}</a></li>

That's all

Works on FF, but not showing on IE?

Thank you thank you, a million times thank you! If I had a nickel for every time someone emailed me that they forgot their password I'd have a lot of nickels!! This little change will help put an end to that! (Should have been written that way in the first place IMHO). By the way, I did make one small change. Instead of placing the code you provided at the location you indicated, I put it just after the very last occurrence of </li> in the header template. Your way, the "Forgot Your Password?" shows up to the right of the login fields. My way it shows up to the left. Just a preference thing.

			</vb:if>

Search for Remember alter code to as shown below to comment out:

<!-- <div id="remember" class="remember">
<label for="cb_cookieuser_navbar"><input type="checkbox" name="cookieuser" value="1" id="cb_cookieuser_navbar" class="cb_cookieuser_navbar" accesskey="c" tabindex="103" /> {vb:rawphrase remember_me}</label>
</div> -->

Then copy the above code from <label> to </label> (all excluding Div open/close and comments) and paste it after:

<input type="submit" class="loginbutton" tabindex="104" value="{vb:rawphrase log_in}" title="{vb:rawphrase enter_username_to_login_or_register}" accesskey="s" />

and before:
</div>

Hope it helps!

I tried to follow this in 4.2 PL3 and the instructions are unclear. What do you do with the code in the box? It says "Copy" but then does not say what to do with it. Thanks.

I tried this and it didn't work.

Also, some users told me the forgotten password message covers the login box and they cannot log onto the forum. I removed the extra line.
