#3312 successful "mail password" page should look different

[Joshua Swink]

When you cause the password to be mailed to you from
http://slashdot.org/login.pl?op=mailpasswdform , after
successfully getting it mailed, the page is not very
informative. It looks mostly the same, having the input
box for Nickname/UID/Email and the captcha is displayed
again.

It is easy to miss the sentence that says "The password
for <user> was emailed to its registered email address"
and to assume that something went wrong.

The result of correctly entering a username/uid and the
captcha should be the regular login page, with a bold
message saying "The password for <user> was emailed to
its registered email address." Or at the very least the
form for mailing the password should disappear and it
should be clearer that the operation succeeded.

Yes, this is a valid complaint.

I just got bitten by this. Why, after nearly a year and a
half, is this still a problem?
