I just upgraded now, and I needed to set the password on a test account of mine.

After entering the email address in the reset field, I clicked “Reset Password”

then I realized the button was still green, so I did it again.

I got two emails, of course. Could we get that reset button to gray out after use (unless the page is refreshed)

When I tested the reset button on this forum (incognito window), the button was disabled for a little while and when I received an ajax response from the server, it became active again (with the error message I received).

Does this not happen in your forum?

Yes, it does grey out, briefly, then re-enables. I’m not sure I was looking closely enough at the time, and could have missed it going gray. - I do remember being surprised the button was available, and assumed I’d just not clicked it.
