Since the upgrade to the site I’ve had to do a password reset as my old one automatically saved. I got an email with a link explaining to click on it to get logged in once then I can change my password. I have tried to do the steps on my profile but to change my password I need the current one, I don’t have this as forgotten it and the password reset email doesn’t have a temporary one. So how do I change my password? Am I missing something really obvious?
I’ve emailed them. I thought I was being thick or completely losing the plot but by the sounds of it I’m quite sane and it’s a definite error on the website. Why couldn’t they just leave things alone!!
Ive just done the same! Forgot my password and you can’t change to a new one without the old! I will email them too and see what they suggest, i thought I was missing something obvious too!
lt will not accept my old password or a new one. Wb is in the same boat. But then this morning l get a noreply message from the mss and low and behold l am LOGGED on. Now l do not know which password is my current one.
Same for me, tried to get on yesterday, put my password in and it wouldn’t accept it so i got them to send me a link to change it but like everyone else i needed my old password too, which ofcourse it wouldn’t accept. Said welcome back to me but on the forum everything was n/a so couldn’t read anything.
Thought i would have another go today and wasn’t looking forward to it but i am straight on and able to read posts.
Thank heavens for that as i was really upset yesterday that i couldn’t get on.
I thought it would be a nightmare getting back on… But it was quite easy

PS I’d like to thank the team for all their hard work, I know how much work it entails keeping a site running smoothly. It might not have looked like the forum needed work doing, but software does need looking after or it will eventually encounter problems.
Me too, when I got there and it said enter your password I instantly got Tourette’s, then fortunately remembered I had put it in my notes, if all you people have forgot password hom are you righting stuff???
Well, I that was half an hour of my life I won’t get back again, lol. I have read and re read all that and thought I was missing something totally pbvious too, lol. Phew, Well, hopefully they will sort all this out for us all soon. It also says I have 15 new messages in my inbox. I was SO excited, but they are all messages I have sent others.boohooo
I am on a temporary password I went to forgot password and then it logged me in with the link it sent to my email. I tried to change my password but it asked for my old password (which didn’t work). After I post this I’m going to try logging out and resetting my password again.
EDIT:
This time when I clicked Forgot Password it logged me in and took me to a page that allowed me to change my password without knowing the old one
I had the same problem, it still said I had incorrect password, trying desperately to remeber password, still said it was wrong so I just gave up but suddenly I’m logged in even though it said it was wrong so now I have no idea which password is right!!! got 34 messages but they are just my previous forum entries…Oh and I’m afraid I do not like date format in the american style, sorry.
