I'm hoping I don't have to code this (with my limited knowledge!) but perhaps you could give me some advice about how I could insist my users change their password after registering. I have noticed that of the users that do return to my forum, many of them request a new password before doing so (indicating to me that they just accepted the random-generated password without noting it down or changing it).

I am concerned that it is one of the reasons that I am having a slow uptake of my forum with registered users (I know....there could be tons of reasons....but I want to touch all bases).

Is there a relatively straight forward way to do this?

Thanks,

Vicky.
