Post Can't log in
Incase you can't tell what my real account is, there's something wrong with you.

You see, I had to change my password due to that stupid 60 day rule, but I forgot what I changed it to, so I clicked the "forgot my password" thingy. I got a temporary password in an email, copy pasted it into the password box and... It said it was wrong.

I tried again.

It was still broken.

Then I noticed that the code didn't have lowercase letters in it.

So yeah, the new security measures broke the password system.

I sent an email to the webmaster, but I haven't got a responce, so here I am.

I suggest you try a different browser.

The only browser I've got apart from Firefox is IE which was so slow I decided I'd rather use this replacement account than wait for that long.


Besides, it's a problem with the passwords, I don't see how my browser, which has worked completely fine before, would make a difference.

My theory is that, because passwords need uppercase and lowercase letters, and the temporary password only has uppercase, it's blocking me off.

(I also have to ask, why the security measures? I can understand keeping security tighter after the april fools event, but why does everyone have to change their password every 60 days? I'm not a moderator! I'm not important!)

If that doesn't work, wait for James.

James has sent me a new password, so I'll be fine now.
