To prevent people from thinking, "This is a phishing site trying to steal my password!", the primary method of resetting your password will be email reset. A secondary (maybe slightly-hidden) method will be to use your current password. So you needn't worry about having an invalid email address now.

A valid email address might be required in the new software, though. I'm not sure about that yet.

Ah, OK thanks for that answer. I did change my email address to a valid one as a precautionary measure.

The secondary method would probably be quite useful for a lot of members here, I would think. Since the forums don't currently enforce the use of a valid email address, I suspect many people might no longer be able to access their old email address or they might have signed up using an invalid one.

Looking forward to seeing the new forum up and running soon. Smiley
