Oops, so secure it locked everyone out.

I have just spent the last, oh, maybe 5 hours on a bug that I only noticed today, simply because I failed to try logging again after my password had been changed.

The problem lay in the encryption routine, I did something very silly. Basically it was re-encrypting the password stored in the database and comparing that against the password stored in the database. So of course, it could never be right.

My apologies then, to those of you that are now locked out of your accounts. If you are one of those unlucky few, then please use the Password Reset page, to regenerate a working password.

Once you have logged in again, feel free to change your password back to your original.

And the password reset form works correctly now too.

And you call me high maintenance, lolz

This site has suddenly become very hi-maintenance, although I must admit, I blame myself, I should have done this years ago.

Anything I can do from logicfish?

Thanks for the offer, but no its pretty much done now, I was mainly moaning about converting all the text files into BBCode and then stuck in the db. Ive completed that now, so its not so bad anymore. Just really need to sort out the Writings index page and thats pretty much it (other than a couple of bugs Ive noticed - including the fucking backslash bug which has mysteriously returned again).

I now know why the mysterious backslash "bug" reappeared. I blame the server monkeys. They enabled something they shouldn't.
