What do most people use when it comes to user password ecryption for community websites? I use to use md5 but when a password issue goes wrong, it is hard to tell if the pass was changed somewhere in the code of the site. Is their a type of ecryption that you can decrpt when needed?

What do you all use?

I use either MD5 or SHA1, neither really encrypts though. I haven't had any issues with passwords going wrong; people forgetting their password, yes. Which is why a lot of sites has a "secret" question and answer so their password can be reset..
