  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.

  Sorry I missed this earlier, there is obviously a lot of value moving these other, I will take a look at it and see how hard it is to do.

  This is really bizarre, sorry about this. I've done a lot of tests, and I just can't reproduce it. I'll investigate more and get to the bottom of it.

  Noga, yes, your profile will be publicly viewable as

  scirra.com/users/noga

  Lucid and Procrastinator, how does:

  "xxx is interested in game making with Scirra.com"

  sound? I've decided we have to have a sentence like that for SEO reasons, I'm open to suggestions though.

  Thanks guys, the forum software just released a major new version which allows post reporting, I'm looking at getting it installed ASAP.

  Mods should still be able to delete posts, atm I'm reading 90% of all posts and will delete them as they come.

  I'm curious as to how people who's primary language isn't English, and their browser habits the the habits of other people they know.

  For example, if you were to come across and English site such as this, and you are unable to articulate what you mean sufficiently, how do people usually tackle this problem?

  Would you use Google translate? Do you have special software? What's the most common solution?
