Awesome!

Now I have many users who asked for the ability to reset their own 
passwords. Since we keep them encrypted in the database, we can't send 
it to them by email, can we? Maybe a solution would be to store them in 
the database encrypted using a key defined in config.php. That way at 
least we can retrieve them in clear.

As for the emailing it back to the user, how about having the user 
enter his or her mother's maiden name at registration time and use that 
answer to see if he or she is who he or she claims to be.

We have a mailing list at we...@fl... (http://www.flux.org and 
follow the links to mailing list) that is dedicated to implementing MUG 
as the website for FLUX. Check it out ...

How's the kid by the way?

It good to hear from you again dude. I hope all is well.
