Hi , I would like to change my password. When I fill in the fields ie current password, then new password (twice), I get an error message saying that my password is incorrect and that if I have forgotten it click 'here' . When I do this nothing happens. I presume I should get an email with a new password ? Regards makfli

Hi makfli when you click on the link, it generates and automated email to your registered email address with a link to update your password. Are you sure you are checking the correct email account? You should be able to see the email address you used here: https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/profile.php?do=editpassword

Hi Niamh, I changed my email address recently but all mail to the old address is forwarded to the new one and this works fine except in this case. Ie when I press the forgotten password link I dont get the email. Appreciate any advice
Regards

Hi makfli,

Is it OK to change the registered e-mail on your account in case the forwarding is causing some problems (i.e. if something ended up in Spam in one account, it wouldn't be forwarded)?
