The requirements are...
  • Password must be between 6 and 30 characters long and must contain letters in mixed case.
This is an example of a valid password: abcX123
(note the uppercase "X")

Note that if you change off of a password that DOESN'T meet those requirements, you won't be able to switch back to it. Also, if you succeed in setting your password to the above value for this test, change it again immediately.

Sigh, the above can't be a link: "You cannot use certain BBCodes: [url]."...so, I can't even link back to a post on this forum?
How about this: can long-term/trusted users be allowed links in sigs?

I suggest to lower the extreme password requirments. I mean... when some is not a admin or mod there, then their accounts aren't need that strong protection. I use myself 13 chars typical password for most not sensitive things - it is some mine distortion or two english words and I feel that for a account there it is more that enought strong.

BTW, if someone from different IP want to steal my account, the admin surely see that the registred IP differ from now used IP and can restore the account to proper owner, so... please relax the requirments. You can strongly recommend, but not force the letters PLUS at least one upercase character.

Worth my 2 cents. :wink:
