I just changed my password

5 days old :eek:

How often is this going to happen?

Your password is 5 days old, and has therefore expired.

Please change your password using this page.

    You only need two passwords - switch between them each time

    They will get us fixed as soon as they can.

    Are the forum team also aware that we are being directed to a page that is "not secure" in order to change it?

    You can 'change it' to your current password. Just type it in all three boxes.

    Hi

    Sorry for the lack of notice to the password reset – we should have told you, but we didn’t want to draw attention to the spam creators.

    We wanted to clamp down on the amount of spam that gets posted to the forum, and one of the many measures taken was to ask everyone to reset their password, and thus help weed out the bots and disposable accounts.

    We’re sorry for the inconvenience caused, but hopefully most managed to easily reset theirs.

    If you can’t remember your password you can get a reset link sent to the email you used to register your account.

    If you've changed your email address please update it in your user profile settings. If you're having problems updating it e.g., you no longer have access to the email account you registered with please email the Forum Team telling us your original email address.

    As an extra measure we’ve also put in place a 90 day time limit for password expiry, and would appreciate your feedback.
