If I can locate that, I intend to fix 2 things: First, the account is not set with a gender, has no Date of Birth, and no password gets set. For the first two, I will be editing the code to insert "unspecified" gender, and a default D.O.B. , then I will generate a randomized password , and all of this information, along with their order receipt and order status can be sent in an email, and that way, if they want to login and correct their information, they can do so. and secondly, The problem is, as it currently stands, a customer can checkout with express, it sets up an account for them, when they get back to my site they are logged in. However, if they do not update their information from that point, and they return later, they are unable to login, and the password reset DOES NOT WORK. I have had 8 customers all contact me in various stages of "MAD" because they cannot log in to their account, no matter what they try, and non of them ever got an email with account details..
I want to FIX this on my cart - I have not bothered filing it as a bug report (it IS a bug) because I noticed a couple bug reports while google searching the issue. It appears to me that the devs have little to no interest in fixing this issue, however, it severely affects my business image when things do not work the way they are supposed to. So, I will be fixing it, and I'll gladly post the fixes back to this thread (or wherever devs may request it) . however, if someone can point me to what file, and better yet what lines of code, actually do the account creation based on data posted back by paypal, it would be very helpful.
