[SOLVED]Any way to add additional email validation field to registration?

About 50% of the help tickets I get from users on my site sre from people who never got a validation email because they typed in their email address wrong. Is there any way to add a second field for them to confirm their email address that validates against the first entry? I can't find anything in search, but it sure would be nice if someone has already thought of this.

Hi,

Sorry, this is impossible by default, we dont have engine to check the email alraedy exist or not... actually this is human error, you should really make sure the user fill correct email.

lol, well thanks for the awesome advice to make sure the users type in their emails correctly. Wish I'd thought of that!

Come on, that's silly. The whole point is that I have no way of making sure they do that, and they mess it up all the time. It should go on your feature request list - to add a second email verification field to help users avoid this simple mistake.
