So far there are 124 marked installations of this mod in v3.7.x

No modification is required if you have installed this mod in 3.7.x and upgrading now to 3.8.x

Even in http://www.topsynergy.net/, 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:

Code:

      <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:

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. http://www.w3schools.com/HTML/html_colornames.asp.

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:

Code:

<!-- Forgot Password Line Starts -->

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

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 -->

That's all there is to it folks
