I had to sign up anew, 'cause I couldn't log in to this new forum.
The "auto" login feature(s) that worked previously for me doesn't now, so I tried the user names I could remember (now unhelpfully referred to as "code"), with a password I'd stored, and my email address, none of which worked, and then I tried the "I can't remember my password", again for all the user names I could remember plus my email address, but got no sign that it was working, nor have received a new password for my previous account.
sigh.
plus, I also vote for some way for individual users to make the posts be in LARGER FONTS for better readability.
plus, the "preview" page has the users editable post titled "REPLY to...", when, in the PREVIEW instance, wouldn't it be better to just say "EDIT your message" at that point, since if you're PREVIEWING it, it must BE your own message, rather than a REPLY to someones message?

Dan, I will work on the login problem tomorrow. I believe I am going to have to have each user port their user accounts over to a new password scheme due to the way old passwords were stored. Sorry about that.

could you please send to my email a password that I could use with (one of) the user names I had before this new forum software was implemented?
When I try to login with my email, it says something about an "old account, contact administrator".
I had previously used DanM (prefered), or when I couldn't get that one to work, Dan_M (which isn't as easy to type).
thanks.

I've reset the password to DanM (email was sent). Do you want Dan_M and CantLogin to be deleted too?

Derek,
before deleting them, let me move the messages posted by CantLogin and other Dan variants into DanM. I had been in email conversation about the problem, but have been away from my computer this morning.
