Hello.

Some things that may be very easy to understand for us, it can be impossible to figure out for a simple user.

One example is the new user registration page, after the Agreement.

The Security Question and Security Answer are IMPOSSIBLE to understand for new users, since there is NO explanation on what they do. So they must be either explained or OPTIONAL to show (via the admin).

An other thing is the Captcha. While it is needed, it should have an option to REFRESH the image to something maybe more clear. Sometimes i even can't read/understand what is shown.

thanks

They are needed when a user uses the Lost Password Function.

This can be turned off in the web.config

<add connectionStringName="yafnet" applicationName="YetAnotherForum" name="YafMembershipProvider" requiresUniqueEmail="true"  enablePasswordRetrieval="false"
         enablePasswordReset="true"
         requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" useSalt="true" type="YAF.Providers.Membership.YafMembershipProvider"/>
