in MPQ Bugs and Technical Issues
Tried to log in , got the message I would have to reset my password, likely due to ‚Administrator changing my account information‘
This normal? Or did I get hacked? Just want to be sure

    I got the same.

    Went thru the process and reset my password and changed it (back to what it was. LOL).

    Not sure exactly why we got this message.

    Ditto on all counts. I did look through to see if there were any spam posts made under my name or something, but didn't see any.

    Also happened to me.  What gives @IceIX?

    Just happened to me as well.

    Maybe someone hacked the forums and we all need to watch out for Identity Theft....

    Same thing here. I wondered if maybe a disgruntled employee left but -- NOBODY should have access to account passwords... Ever. There's no situation in which anyone should need to login as someone else. And administrator can no doubt axe an account or do anything else necessary.

    Me too.

    Any admin know why? @Brigby @LakeStone maybe?

    @IceIX, @Brigby

    Don't want to be a pain in the neck but people are worried about that, so any information would be helpful

    Hi Everyone. It would seem that Vanilla, the forum provider that we use, preemptively identified a vulnerability in their system, so as an additional precaution to fixing that issue, they also reset everyone's password. Hope that helps! 
    Thx, good to know 👍

    Tell them to fix their password reset e-mail as well.  It took two and a half weeks to finally get someone to send me a temp password manually, as the reset e-mail has not been sending any mail my way.  Finally, the ticket got to someone who did the right thing and manually mailed me a temp password instead of just trying to get the page to auto-generate the (not-working) e-mail.  So I was off forums from the reset day till 12/2.

    This is still a problem. Since the reset, I still haven't been able to get an email to reset my password (tried to request it at least 20+ times). I've made this duplicate just to log into the forums. Who can I email directly to work through this problem?

    Try mailing communications@d3go.com .  The main customer support line referred me to them, as they (CS) were seemingly incapable of fixing it.

    Yes, please email communications@d3go.com instead of reaching out to support as we will be able to assist with any login issues via email.  Thanks!

    I will reach out to that email again (I've emailed twice with no response). Thanks for the feedback.

    It took them a while to reply to me too, Monsoon.
