It's a good idea to change your password quite regularly and NEVER use the same password that you use for other accounts.

You should be able to change your password using this link:

Or by selecting [Your Control Panel] (under the Brew Cabin Logo) and then 'Modify Account' on the right.

Can all the moderators PLEASE change their passwords as a matter of urgency?

We've not had a full-scale break-in, but Ian is concerned that some malign forces may have been sniffing around, no doubt inspired by the eejit Donny T in the USA.

So, Moderators: please change your password - your usernames are fine - and that helps us minimise the risk of anyone spoiling our fun or, even worse, corrupting this invaluable archive we've built up over the last 16 years.

^^^ What Tony said, at best it's a 'False Positive' from one of the watchdog processes we have running, at worst it's something attempting (and failing) to be a little devious.

Best practice is best practice :-)
