in Site feedback
What a sad day yesterday, tried to bring MSE up on the lappy and get greeted with this message, so i just thought i would warn you all, - your password will expire after 4487 days!! I honestly feel heartbroken, i feel like ive had my front door key taken off me, ok ive had to give myself a shiny new "key" but its just not the same as the one that holds all your memories, the tactile, battered old worn one that nobody would ever have guessed in a million years, and now i have to remember a whole new way to "get in" and i dont like it...........

One saving grace, at least i dont seem to have lost my old version of the site........... and interesting that ive passed the 4487 days as an MSEr mark............

    What's wrong with Board Feedback? - There have been threads on this since yesterday and an 'official' thread went live almost exactly 24hrs before this one...?

    And City bankers weren't obsessed with their own wages and bonuses while screwing everyone else over...

    Wait, were they ever not about their own personal wealth?

    Why did you not just use your existing password like a lot of us did?

    Mine was 206 days, had to reset my password as I could not remember it.
