  Shinkan, use the search feature on:

  69.24.73.172/scirra/forum/index.php

  If you are looking for a file <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  I'm looking into moving all attachments over soon.

  Ok guys, last time I think! Thanks for all your patience, changing password/logging in etc, should ALL be resolved now. Remember your password is case sensitive now.

  I think it's probably to do with the Empire being so large at one point, the saying "The Sun never sets in the British Empire" meaning there at one point was always a country on the globe under sunlight under British control.

  I think it was basically spread that way, and supported to some degree by trade.

  Arima do you not have a 'Post options' button under each post?

  Zen,

  Yes, there are two ways to fix this, one is to force lower case and one is to allow case sensitivity. I heavily favour case sensitivity as it exponentially increases the search space for peoples passwords, and it also is two birds with one stone because anyone still trying to login who can't (I still think there are some users) should then be able to login.

  Special chars work at the moment, it literally is case sensitive letters that cause the problem only.

  Tom

  Right, it looks like the issue is PHPBB was case sensitive passwords, but this new forum is not, it forces inputs to lowercase. This means that if you had an uppercase character in your password, you would generate an incorrect hash and it would fail your login.

  Hopefully tonight I can edit one line of code and fix it all in one go. This will now mean your passwords ARE case sensitive. The reason your uppercase generated passwords worked is because they were a trusted generated string that wasn't passed through any filters.

  Ok, I've found the cause. This would also probably be why some people can't login initially as well. Any password with upper case letting doesn't work for some reason. I will look into why this is soon. In the meantime, change your password to lower case and it will work fine.
