As of today the site was upgraded to new software due to script errors and security fixes etc.
There are a few changes although most will not see them
In this version, users may no longer set their password to be the same as their username. Such passwords make accounts vulnerable to exploitation from automated scripts and programs that can guess the password to access your board under the guise of the affected users. This may be done for the purposes of spam or online identity theft.
Therefore if any member has carried out the above they will (on first login) be asked to reset their password to something new. This is down for the reasons i have explained above.
Thanks for your support
