518159 - "forgot my password" link on the forums should go to AMO

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Forums, defect)

Description

Right now it does the phpbb thing and it shouldn't because phpbb doesn't know people's passwords.

This is an easy template change if we just want to change the link:

-<!-- IF U_SEND_PASSWORD --><dd><a href="{U_SEND_PASSWORD}">{L_FORGOT_PASS}</a></dd><!-- ENDIF -->
-<!-- IF U_RESEND_ACTIVATION --><dd><a href="{U_RESEND_ACTIVATION}">{L_RESEND_ACTIVATION}</a></dd><!-- ENDIF -->
+<dd><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/users/pwreset/">{L_FORGOT_PASS}</a></dd>

However, this is an opportunity to make the experience less confusing.  Some text here about using your AMO username would be good I think, and maybe some other text about the flow of info from amo -> forums?  I don't know, but I'm sure fligtar will!  Fligtar, can you handle this?  It's all in /styles/ca_gen2/template/login_body.html.  You'll have to clear the template cache if you want to check your changes.

I've been checking changes into http://svn.mozilla.org/addons/trunk/site/vendors/phpbb/ btw

Checked in some explanation and the URL in r52487. We need to get IT to update this in production, and preferably switch the style to pull from SVN.
