Guests can see a login dialog at the bottom of each forum post.

The Username field has the wrong link. It says "Register". It should say "Forgot Username?"

The Forgot Password link on my website redirects to the Login page. It should redirect to the "Forgot Password" page. You can locate this page under the menu Connect -> Password Reset

Hello Rene,

Ah, I'm sorry. I've fixed it. Please backup these files before upgrade:
../components/com_easydiscuss/themes/simplistic/searchbar.php
../components/com_easydiscuss/themes/simplistic/searchbar.php

Hello Rene,

I've tried to access your backend but I got this:
Warning
Username and password do not match or you do not have an account yet.

And we also need your FTP because the Register link is a default hence we need to modify your file so it will redirect to forgot username.

Can you try it again. I have included a new user/pass in the site details. Also, Profiles is installed.

Hello Rene,

I've tried to save in your ProFiles but I got this: http://screen.stackideas.com/2014-12-18_1110.png . By the way, is it possible for you to provide us your FTP access instead? It will be much easier for us to fix.

Hello Rene,

Thanks for the access. I've fixed it for you in this file: ../components/com_easydiscuss/helpers/helper.php. Please give it a try.

Perfect Nik,

Will the fix stay after an upgrade?

Hello Rene,

No, it's not. You have to backup this file before upgrading Easydiscuss.

Thanks Nik. However, there is another problem. Now when I click the "or Ask a Question" button, I get redirected to the "Forgot Username" page.
