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.
