Bizarre e-mail

[kmemphis]

I just got an e-mail from the correct BW admin e-mail (the one on the "about" page) but um... beyond that it's freaky.

This mail was sent because the 'forgot password' function has been applied to your account. To set a new password click the following link:

I last had password issues in early February. Is there some new "forgot password function" or what?

Is it possible that someone else tried to log into BollyWHAT with your account?

Not to my knowledge.

I don't like this.

I don't like this.

Do you share a computer with someone else?

That's the only thing I can think of. I wonder if anyone else has received the same email, unsolicited.

No, not new, there's always been one.  If you click on the hyperlink 'log in' in the top left of the forum, a new screen pops up and underneath where you would put in your username and password there is a hyperlink that says, 'forgot your password?'.  If you click on that, you can have your password sent to the email account you signed up with.  Anyone could theoretically put in the user ID and click send, though that wouldn't help to gain access to your account unless they can also access your email.  I'd recommend you change your password just to be on the safe side, Kmemphis.

I meant some new unchecked or checked box on our profile where we got regular e-mails asking us if we forgot our passwords...

Okay... that makes no sense.

I don't share my computer or get on BW on any other computer. (And you hack this account? So there'll be posts by "me" saying "I hate SRK!" Kya purpose hai?)

However, I did have to reset my password twice in a couple weeks - reinstalled firefox and then got a new computer.

Off to reset it.

So I logged out and asked for the e-mail and it came with IP address I see with every post.

But the e-mail from Friday night at 11:22 US Central time had this IP address - IP: 69.138.62.241

If anyone else has gotten an unsolicited e-mail, maybe their e-mail has the same IP.
