Yeah that is pretty ridiculous.
Is there really a significant threat of password stealing here, specifically, to the point as to merit this inconvenience?

^^ What they said, kind of annoying.
Also, put the userbar under the avatar. Looks much nicer.

Wow, i am ..amazed how many people do not like to change there passwords.

Lets see, i am on about 30 websites, i got 13 email addresses, and i manage 4 servers, Every 3weeks to a few months i change or addon to the passwords making them longer and harder to figure out if anyone were to somehow break into the many sites i use.

perhapes everyone should try to pick this up and learn to change/add to there passwords. Even i had to change my password on here, what did i do? i added one more number, not that hard IMO.

I like my password that I use, I use it a lot, and it's pretty confusing to have it be different than the other passwords on other websites.
Please at least change it to every 6 months.

This.


I have the same password for everything, I hate having one that's different. Especially having to change it so often.

Same here, I have the same password for everything, albeit I add a number or capital letter when it's needed from the website, but changing passwords makes me forget.

Hell, I left DRL for a month because I couldn't remember my password when I had to change it after the hack.

Oh yeah?
Well I have 1 password, a simple combination of 4 digits repeated twice.
I use it EVERYWHERE on the internet, for every site I register, and it never, never got hacked.

And its not that it's 'hard', its annoying, and time from time you forget it because you are used to your previous password.

I think teh somebody got a point

and what i also think is that most of the people are not going to like that the password must be changed every 60 days That far too often for me.

also its the same for me too every account has the same pass and I will get confused by using only for 1 forum a diffrent pass. :?

Awesome way to deal with things, James.

Also, did you fix the massive PHP errors you get when you're banned?

People need to stop crying about changing passwords.

Deal with it, its good account security. It teaches you good conventions. Changing your password here might not be useful in the real world, but you'd best learn real quick it is a good idea to change your credit card PINs, your primary email password, your social networking sites passwords regularly.

the top of the theme (where the title of whatever page you're on) is still screwed, as is the width of the text input field. forums feel more responsive though.
