Note in the upper left, a little blue link (under the STRAIGHT DOPE logo) to an important Announcements.
And here is the entire text of the announcement from Ed Zotti:
<< More on this later, but we strongly advise all SDMB users to change their passwords immediately.
Also, HTML has been disabled, probably permanently. UBB coding is still available. >>
Please take note.
There is no need to respond to this thread. I’ll leave it open so it can be bumped up to the top from time to time.
If you don’t know how to change your password: On the top right of each page, under the “Straight Dope Message Board” label, you will find several selections, one of which is “profile.” Go into “profile” and you can change your password there. Write Down Your New Password Somewhere That You Won’t Lose It.
