End-User Options - Forgot Password & Join Us in Navbar

No changes are needed for 3.8.x
Go here for the 3.8.x MOD

Even in this little community, we are getting around three request each week from members to send them their forgotten password.

Without questioning too much why hasn't the second-to-none vBulletin provide so far the extra "Forgot Password?" link in NavBar, here's a simple template edit to provide better accessibility to the Forgot Password page:

In this new version 1.1, we've also added a Join Us link on the same line thanks to gbechtel's great suggestion.


Instructions for fresh install:

Search for the following script in navbar template:

<td><input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[log_in]" tabindex="104" title="$vbphrase[enter_username_to_login_or_register]" accesskey="s" /></td>
		</tr>

and enter below the following code:

                <!-- Forgot Password Line Starts -->
                <tr>
                  <td colspan="2">
                    <a style="font-size:8pt; color: red;" href="login.php?do=lostpw">Forgot Password?</a>
                  </td>
                  <td style="text-align: right;">
                    <a style="font-size:8pt; color: red;" href="register.php">Join Us!</a>
                  </td>
                </tr>
                <!-- Forgot Password Line Ends -->

You can replace the color expression "color: red;" to any other color that you like. Here's a nice html color table.

You may also like to set another font size in the expression "font-size:8pt;" to: font-size:9pt;, font-size:10pt; etc.

Instructions for upgrade from previous version:

Search for the following script in navbar template:

<!-- Forgot Password Line Starts -->

and replace everything from the start tag to the end with:

                <!-- Forgot Password Line Starts -->
                <tr>
                  <td colspan="2">
                    <a style="font-size:8pt; color: red;" href="login.php?do=lostpw">Forgot Password?</a>
                  </td>
                  <td style="text-align: right;">
                    <a style="font-size:8pt; color: red;" href="register.php">Join Us!</a>
                  </td>
                </tr>
                <!-- Forgot Password Line Ends -->

That's all there is to it folks

Please do not forget to rate, mark installed, or even nominate (not for this elementary mode but for filling in on an importent issue)
