[joomla] Email verification during Joomla Registration (brynk)

Hello everyone:

I am happy to announced that I successfully hacked my Joomla CMS site 
concerning the email account field in the user.

It is admittedly crazy but I succeeded and of course, I saved a copy of 
the original php files that were hacked.

It was both the forms.php in .../user/tmpl folder and default.php in ... 
/users/tmpl that needed adjustments.


Thank You for all the feedback.
