Message Board Conversion: Corrupted Passwords

Author: Jason - Owner/Webmaster, Ostomyland.com

Due to the conversion of the old message board over to the new, there is a small possibility of some of the users passwords getting corrupted. In these cases the board automatically creates a new random password and associates it with the account.

If you cannot log into your message board account, try the Password Retrival gizmo on the main login page.

This should send a copy of the password to the email account you had associated with your account on the board. If you receive no password at all or receive one and still cannot log in, please contact us with your board user name and we’ll look into it for you. At that stage there is a possibility that the only solution would be to start a brand new account on the board.

So far, there has only been one reported corrupted password and that was just one of the admins secondary accounts, used for testing the board with, which is a lot less than I expected. Hopefully very few people will experience this problem with their account post-conversion.
