Include the IP address at the end of any requests to reset password or register an account, and possibly add a "If you received this message in error, <blah blah>" message.
Purpose: To allow easier tracking down of abusers.

When an error message occurs it is logged, the logging already includes the users IP. Logging successful requests would only polute the log making it more difficult to track offenders.

Add an option to enable the user to go through a page and push submit or follow a link to confirm registration, after the email message. I can't remember if I made this suggestion before, so I'm making it now.
Purpose: To prevent, or make it harder for, people from accidentally confirming the account of another user(I've had some unpleasantness related to this on one board I've set up). Some people are click-happy, and if it's in a language other than the recipient's native tongue, he/she may click the link out of curiosity.

To bloody annoying to intelligent users, if people have not learned not to be click happy they should've by know with all the viruses, spam etc... going around via e-mail.

Modify the code to have email addresses hidden by default when registering. I'm not 100% behind this suggestion, since people really SHOULD read the forms they're filling out, and it is a very simple code change that almost anyone could do if it weren't implemented in the main code.

Probably a good idea, I'll add that.
