I've reported the inability to change the forum password, but the problem has intensified. I cannot login on the main site because no matter how many times I change password when I leave the site, it refuses me entry every time. So I have to go through the process of saying I've forgotten password, then waiting for the e-mail, copying the link, changing the password, re-entering the changed password (at which point I am logged in as Beeble42) then clicking on a couple of pages and logging out. Of course the changed password never works (it tells me there's an error every time) and I have to go through the same process again.
Then I have to look up my forum password, since I can't change that, in order to log in to here and tell my tale. It's incredibly frustrating. I'm disinclined to add stories while I have no confidence of being able to log in.
Are there rules for setting passwords on the site which make my passwords invalid? If so it ought to tell me when I am typing them in.
