[Accepted] email change warning

(1/2) > >>

Parham:
Like the previous yabbs, when a valid email was required... I'd always put my real one in, then when all was set up, I'd replace it with a fake one just because I didn't like my email in there.

So I tried to do that when I registered here and I got a little shocking surprise :P.  My proposed change would be to make the "this must be a valid email" text a little more viewable, and possibly warn them of what might happen if the email is changed:

"This must be a valid email address, if changed, a new password will be sent."

something like that.

David:
People shouldn't be putting in fake addresses, they can hide them if they wish.  It does seem like a warning that is easy enough to add though.

Parham:
... for the dumbasses like me

Jack.R.Abbit™:
isn't that "change email and get a new password" part something that the admin can select? so if they switch it off and the warning says "a new password will be sent" and it is not sent... now we have even more confusion.  I may have just complicated it a bit more but I think two warning ned to be in the lang file... one for each senario.

Am I being lame?

-Jack

Parham:
if it's turned off though, nothing will be shown
