Change your passwords please.

We've had a few spam posts here recently and it MAY have been due to someone identifying a user password.

I strongly suggest that members change their forum login passwords (it's good practice to do this periodically anyway for all your logons)

You can change your password by clicking your name at the top left hand side of the forum, and selecting account settings.
Toward the bottom of that page you will see:
QuoteChoose Password:
For best security, you should use eight or more characters with a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols.
Verify Password:

It would also be a good time to set up a secret question (next section down) if you haven't already done so. It helps in the event of a forgotten password.

I note this is not mandatory, just strongly recommended for your account's security.


As a side note for those who have troubles remembering their passwords, a password manager is the ideal solution.
I use and recommend the free personal plan on Bitwarden.


Let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers
