New Pet of the Day, Cat of the Day, Dog of the Day and Pet Talk server upgrade

[Catty1]

Will this have any effect on the "post theft" that has happened recently?

   Unfortunately, a faster server may make such theft easier.

Do you know of any specific date and time that Pet Talk will be closed?

[Miss Z]

Sounds good! I'll look forward to an *upgraded* PT!

[Paul]

   I do not know when Pet Talk will be closed for the server transfer and upgrade. We announce when it is going to happen when we know. Perhaps, it will begin at 2:00 am EDT on Saturday.

I have my PC set up to automatically log me in when I click on www.petoftheday.com.

No idea what my user name and password are, I set all that up when I first joined and have never used it since. Oh wait, my user name is Freedom.

I can take a guess about my password.

Is there any way I can find out before the transition?

Thanks!

You can reset your password right now, while you are logged in, and this time, write it down and keep it in a safe place!

I recommend that anyone not sure of their password do this right away, just in case.

1. Go under your User CP
2. The second item down in the lefthand column is Edit Email and Password
3. Just look at the email address right now, make sure it is a correct address, and note (if you have more than one email address that you use) which address it is.

4. Go to the Pet Talk home page, take a deep breath, and Log Out.

5. Then type your username in the username box to log back in, and if you have a guess at your password, type that in and log in. If your guess works write it down! If your guess doesn't work, or if you just leave "password" blank, a box will come up that says "You have entered an invalid username or password. Please press the back button, enter the correct details and try again. Don't forget that the password is case sensitive. Forgotten your password? Click here!"

6. Click there. Enter your account's email address (which you made a note of in Step 3) and the software will automatically email you a new password.

7. Check your email. If you don't get that email right away, check your spam or junk folder, it may have gone there. That email will contain your new password.

8. Log in with your new password. You can either then go change your password to something more memorable, using that User CP, or keep the one the system assigned you as your ne password, that is up to you. Whatever the case, write it down, and put that piece of paper where you will be able to find it, just in case.

Does that make sense?

Since I don't use boards that often, I'm not familiar with "post theft". You mean someone took posts off a thread or what happened??

Some people found PT posts on other websites and they didn't have the right to copy everything down.
