Note the new email address!

Yes, but you never replied. Send me an email from that account, and I'll change it. Just give me anything, and you can change it to whatever you like in the User CP.

Mark Hensler emailed me and asked me what I would like my new password to be.

Ken, I was having the same probs... I used this link to reset my pw and get a new one.

With that new pw I used the Control Panel to set my pw to the old one.

Hope it helps,

vB does encrypt the passwords during the upgrade but it just encrypts the old ones. For 99% of people, I'm sure this didn't affect them. It has, however, affected a number of people and we are getting those errors corrected as they are brought to our attention.

Ken, please read my original message for instructions on getting your password corrected. At this time, I have not received an email from you regarding this issue so your password can not be updated.

What extrmbob said is untrue. It my encrypt passwords but it doesn't change them. Would vb release software that had to have 1000's of users passwords changed manually? No.

And, my password hasen't been fixed. I've been waiting for two weeks, what gives?

I'm certain that the upgrade for vBulletin encrypted the old passwords.

I'm running IE6 and have had no problems. I've not changed the IE security stuff, and I'm not using XP's firewall.

If that were true then I couldn't have posted this. It is true that it is using encrypted passwords but I think that all that is required is for you to re-login with your existing username and old password. I am using the same password as before. It could be a IE 6 cookie problem.

I saw this thread over at V-bulletin site.
