Thanks for the reply Rik.
That's the issue I'm having, I have set it in External database for MD5 & then tried SHA1 & neither work. It only works in plain text. It's totally confusing me.
My next option is to dig through the source code & see if there's something special in the background that I'm unaware of.
& you are right, I'm running 2.5.1, I typed it in backwards.
