Sincere, sorry for the delay. Is this issue resolved now? If not, is there any related errors in your forum error log?

What mods do you have installed (if any)?

thank you for your kind answer knight.

no it is not resolved.

mods? I am not sure the few mods I tried to install were installed correctly.

I would appreciate it if a decent fine person such as your handsome self would accept to have a look with admin access.

should I pm you that ?

here is more information on that error.

if a user enters an email address that does NOT exist, there is no error. smf correctly reports no username associated with this email 

the error only happens when the user enters an email of a member.......

and I searched in the logs, I could not find anything related to this error

You should be able to upgrade to RC1 by now, but if not can you check your $sources/Subs-Members.php file and at the very end make sure the following code is there:

Code Select Expand

// Generate a random validation code.
function generateValidationCode()
{
global $smcFunc, $modSettings;

$request = $smcFunc['db_query']('get_random_number', '
SELECT RAND()',
array(
)
);

list ($dbRand) = $smcFunc['db_fetch_row']($request);
$smcFunc['db_free_result']($request);

return substr(preg_replace('/\W/', '', sha1(microtime() . mt_rand() . $dbRand . $modSettings['rand_seed'])), 0, 10);
}

thank you very much for this kind help

Indeed, I have just checked, updating to smf2.0 RC1 did solve this issue for me
