Does anyone know of a username reminder ?
I had an email from one of my members the other day asking for a reminder and he commented on difficulty of trying to find my contact details.
So next to the "Forgot Password ?" link under the nav, I put a "Forgot Username" link which emails me.
Holly sh*t ! I have been inundated with reminder requests.
I want to automate this though.
Any information thankfully received.

There is an alternative password.asp file written by Richard floating around somewhere that only requires the member to enter the e-mail address and then sends them their username with a link to change their password as well, if they want; a quick seach should unearth it.

Shaggy,

Thanks for that. I could not find anything so I did it myself. The new password.asp page should be -

< Code removed />
And then in inc_header.asp, look for -

Code:

"                <a href=""password.asp""" & dWStatus("Choose a new password if you have forgotten your current one...") & " tabindex=""-1"">Forgot your "
			if strAuthType = "nt" then Response.Write("Admin ")
			Response.Write	"Password?</a>" & vbNewLine

and make it look like -

Code:

"                <a href=""password.asp""" & dWStatus("Recover your username or choose a new password if you have forgotten your current one...") & " tabindex=""-1"">Forgot your "
			if strAuthType = "nt" then Response.Write("Admin ")
			Response.Write	"Username or Password?</a>" & vbNewLine

< Editted by Shaggy to large code extract. If you need to post the contents of a file, please link to a *.txt copy of that file, rather than posting it directly to the forums /><

Hi. I'm wondering if anyone knows where an archived copy of the file mentioned above resides? I have the need for a "Username Reminder" in our forum and it sounds like the above might be of some assitance.
Thanks, in advance, for any help in tracking down the file. (Or, for any other suggestion.)

Actually, nothing! I apparently had a hiccup yesterday and I wasn't able to download the file.

It is working now.

Thanks a lot.
