Major security flaw in the forums

[ColinGilbert]

Hi,

I just registered for the forums, and was shocked to see my password in the registration email.
This is an indication that the backend stores passwords as plaintext, as opposed to salted hashes.
If this was already known and being worked on, please disregard this post.
