This thread is frustrating. Everyone seems more interested in nitpicking the specifics of what OP is saying and are ignoring that a forum sends you your password (not an automatically generated one) in an email on registration.

    But in situations like this there is a much larger chance it’s being stored in plain text.

    I suppose, but OP said in the title that the passwords were being stored in plaintext, despite that not being the case.
