UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads 7 Version 7 Support Email passwords to all

Is there any way to send an email to all current users, notifying (reminding) them of their passwords?

The best you could do for this would be to send out an email with instructions on requesting a temporary password if they have forgotten them. There is no option to send out a reminder to everyone.

Not to mention the one way encoding of passwords makes "recovery" near-impossible, hence a password "reset" when someone forgets their password and needs a new one ...

Agree - best bet is to send a direct link to the password recovery page.

Although it would be good to have some form of email link that could be sent to users, that contained their username.

For example

www.yourforum.com/threads7/lostpassword.php?username=fred

Where the forum software was able to generate this link in an email to all users using the existing database. Likewise this kind of link could go on the bottom of any emails sent from the system, for example subscription emails for topics.

Idiot proof links are good
