It did that to me on my laptop yesterday twice. I am now on the works computer and it is OK, will check it again on the laptop when i get home just to see if it is just my own computer if so a defrag and erase cookies session is the way to go me thinks.

It's perfectly ok and good practise to change your password! In this case though someone gained access through a mods account (Thats why the MODS were banned for a short time)

For security reasons thats why the passwords expired and you were forced to change in case security had been compromised!

It has nothing to do with the machine your on!

That's all well and good, but not very helpful when you log in, go to change your password, and then click the link and it never loads up. And if you don't reset the pw you can't see any part of the forum unless you browse signed out
