The following ONLY affects users that have set their password to be the same as their user name.
The newest version of our forum software does not allow your password and user name to be the same. If this affects you, you will be prompted to change your password next time you log in. Such passwords that have not been reset after a reasonable amount of time will be automatically reset.
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.
Users with these password will be prompted to change them on their next login.
