Open: /styles/*yourstyle*/template/ucp_register.html

For prosilver based styles, find:

	<dl>
		<dt><label for="email">{L_EMAIL_ADDRESS}:</label></dt>
		<dd><input type="text" tabindex="2" name="email" id="email" size="25" maxlength="100" value="{EMAIL}" class="inputbox autowidth" title="{L_EMAIL_ADDRESS}" /></dd>
	</dl>
	<dl>
		<dt><label for="email_confirm">{L_CONFIRM_EMAIL}:</label></dt>
		<dd><input type="text" tabindex="3" name="email_confirm" id="email_confirm" size="25" maxlength="100" value="{EMAIL_CONFIRM}" class="inputbox autowidth" title="{L_CONFIRM_EMAIL}" /></dd>
	</dl>

Delete it.


For subsilver based styles, find:

<tr>
	<td class="row1"><b class="genmed">{L_EMAIL_ADDRESS}: </b></td>
	<td class="row2"><input class="post" type="text" name="email" size="25" maxlength="100" value="{EMAIL}" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td class="row1"><b class="genmed">{L_CONFIRM_EMAIL}: </b></td>
	<td class="row2"><input class="post" type="text" name="email_confirm" size="25" maxlength="100" value="{EMAIL_CONFIRM}" /></td>
</tr>

Delete it.

That's just the instructions on how to remove it from the registration screen.

Removing the email field from the forum will cause a few problems. The above code changes will only stop it showing. When you click submit, the registration will fail.

Thanks.
Removing the e mail, and confirm requirements would be really hard, though i can remove timezone and language.

Agreed and a lot of people use it.

thats something to put on the profile field, not on the register field.

It would be good to take it off for local forums.

But yeah, making the registration as quick as possible is always good.
