Add User MOD for PHPBB does not send password

Tags:

The Add User Mod for PHPBB is an excellent addition, letting admins add users directly, like when moving from an email list or alternate board.

However with PHPBB 3.0.7 you will encounter the problem that new users do not receive their automatically generated password in the signup email. Likewise, users who create a new account for themselves will not receive the password in email; perhaps this is desirable from a security standpoint, but it increases "Help me!" calls to admins like me to an unusable level.
