Even in this little community, we are getting around three request each week from members to send them their forgotten password.

Without questioning too much why hasn't the second-to-none vBulletin provide so far the extra "Forgot Password?" link in NavBar, here's a simple template edit to provide better accessibility to the Forgot Password page:

In this new version 1.1, added a Join Us link on the same line

Instructions for fresh install:

Search for the following script in navbar template:

PHP:
            <td><input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[log_in]" tabindex="104" title="$vbphrase[enter_username_to_login_or_register]" accesskey="s" /></td>
        </tr>


and enter below the following code:
PHP:
    <!-- Forgot Password Line Starts -->
    <tr>
      <td colspan="2">
        <a style="font-size:8pt; color: red;" href="login.php?do=lostpw">Forgot Password?</a>
      </td>
      <td style="text-align: right;">
        <a style="font-size:8pt; color: red;" href="register.php">Join Us!</a>
      </td>
    </tr>
    <!-- Forgot Password Line Ends -->
You can replace the color expression "color: red;" to any other color that you like. Here's a nice html color table.

You may also like to set another font size in the expression "font-size:8pt;" to: font-size:9pt;, font-size:10pt; etc.

Instructions for upgrade from previous version:

Search for the following script in navbar template:

PHP:
<!-- Forgot Password Line Starts -->

and replace everything from the start tag to the end with:

PHP:
                <!-- Forgot Password Line Starts -->
                <tr>
                  <td colspan="2">
                    <a style="font-size:8pt; color: red;" href="login.php?do=lostpw">Forgot Password?</a>
                  </td>
                  <td style="text-align: right;">
                    <a style="font-size:8pt; color: red;" href="register.php">Join Us!</a>
                  </td>
                </tr>
                <!-- Forgot Password Line Ends -->
