This is a huge thing for me.

I was trying to log into a site that just recently switched to converge and I did not know at all.
Infact I just though I had forgotten my password which happens to me a lot. heck I have been locked out of ipsbeyond, dean's site and many more do to forgetting my password so I did not look in the news do to that.

Any way when I ran the forgot password and it sent me the email it listed my username as the username I had so when i went to try both the username and password it was not working.
I tried for several hours until I eventually found I needed to use my email address as the username.

My suggestion is to change the email and have it say the email address for the username instead of the username.

Logic isn't fully supported in the emails, so rather than duplicating a lot of text, I changed the email in the next version of IPB to say

Your username is: <#USERNAME#>
Your email address is: <#EMAIL#>

ok so if some one is using converge those 2 will be the same?

If they registered when the board is converged, yes it would be.

oh thats not going to help much then.

Actually, moving forward, we store members display name in the name field.

ok but shouldn't the email for forgot password be like this?



Because with that it would fix the issue I had.
