First Anniversary First Post
in Old style MoneySaving
I'm not a newbie at all! I've been on the Forum for 10 years, posting mostly here, as jackyann. I got a message that I had to re-set my password, BUT:
I had set my computer to log in automatically, so had completely forgotten my password!
I had changed my email address & forgotten to change it on here - so long ago that the original had lapsed - so I couldn't post to ask for it to be reset!
So the only thing I could do was sign out and sign up again - and here I am, all my little rosettes and thanks and things all gone. I do know that I don't have to ask you to be especially kind, because people on this board always are.
Nice to be back!

    You are not alone!
    Lots of people got the message to change password. It took me lots of tries to get the right one, but I got there eventually. :T:T:T
    Hope to see lots of posts from you, even though I usually lurk :p xx

    Surely you would have been given the chiice to say i have forgotten my password tnen given the chance to change it. I did .
    I do wonder why though perhaps some mod might explain

    I think the problem was that without the email address too there would have been no identifier.


    I had the same email and although I had my password written down:eek: it wasn't accepted and I had to ask for a new one.


    I've never been asked to change my password before. I wondered if they were tightening up a bit after the recent issue with disappearing threads.

    Hi, I just noticed your "previous name" on "A simpler life" and was able to click on it, find your statistics and see your posts. And by copying the address line into google it brought it all up on a new page.

    Apologies if you are already aware of this. This link http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/search.php?searchid=175808771 should take you to your posts, but you would not be able to log in and post/edit etc.

    Sorry if this is a bit muddles, been struggling with a sinus headache all day:eek:

    :hello:Hello buildersdaughter/ jackyann.

    I'm one of the many people who's had to change their password in the last couple of days because it had 'expired' - we've been having a wee whinge about it on the prepper's thread.

    I'd love to know why MSE has decided that various old lags like meself and other suspects have suddenly hit our expiry dates, lol.
