Today I did kind of a dumb thing. I read the message from Ed Zotti, telling everybody to change their passwords ASAP. Like the brain dead idiot I must be, I thought you couldn’t change your password unless you changed your e-mail address too. So I put down a different e-mail address and submitted the modification, then realized two seconds too late that I no longer have access to that e-mail account! As a result, I was forced to re-register to this MB.
I will just go sit in the corner now with a dunce cap on my head.
But here’s your chance to pick a whole new identity! Think of the possibilities!
How about “Board Crasher.” You will be inundated with posts asking you how you did what you did.
Cristi, here is the exact quote from Ed Zotti’s message:
I don’t have the inside story on this, but it sounds as if maybe somebody possibly hacked into the system and maybe obtained the user passwords. I can’t think of any other reason why they would ask everybody to change their passwords immediately.
Shadow, I just had a little trip on the clueless bus here, and was just shy of doing the same thing. I shot my 500 post wad trying to figure out something simple. Sigh.
Shadow, don’t feel bad, I did the exact same thing when I first joined SDMB… of course at the time I was a newbie, that is to say more newbier than I am now.
Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.
Elelle, I had almost 600 posts under my old SN. Now I have to start all over again. It took me 11 months to get that far. I don’t know if I have the patience to spend another year on here, trying to rebuild my post count again.
