We have noticed a few account of older members have been taken over and used to post spam links. Please take a moment to check your passwords, and make sure they aren't something easy to guess........we will be banning any accounts posting spam, so keep your account safe and use a harder to guess password.

Hi Jonathan, how would I know if my account has been hacked?

I use a somewhat strong password, with 12 characters I think, and never register it in my browser or elsewhere. I need to enter it each and every time I want to log on the forum. Also my browser doesn't remember my history. Is that OK :?:

Generally, if you try to log in and get "incorrect password" that means someone has taken control of your account. In that case, contact the forum admin and he will reset your account for you. Its sad that this is happening.

Thanks for the reminding... I changed my easy password to the one suggested by Chrome now... Didn't see the mentioned "symptoms" tho~ :) Now a days we all should be aware about those bad guys who could steal your identity...
