HELP! - Need Password Change ASAP
I have changed the password allowing people on our board in the moderator options, but the old one still seems to be in effect. Is there a lag time?
I really need to change it right away!

Re: HELP! - Need Password Change ASAP
Not sure what path you are using via the Moderator options. That is normally for banning members.
There is no lag time so any change should be immediate.
This is the path to modify the security settings of the forums.
Control Panel :: Board management :: Security management :: Advanced security settings
Either change the password for Global board-wide access settings or scroll down and select individual forums.

Thanks, I followed the path you have there but it doesn't seem to have taken. When I go back in via the security settings the new password shows, but I can still log in with the old password.

Re: HELP! - Need Password Change ASAP
What do you have your security set as Skye? Is it board wide or forum specific?

It is forum specific and I made the change in the forum specific menu.

Re: HELP! - Need Password Change ASAP
I think I may have figured it out. It's a password to gain membership, not to log in. So I have removed a member. If that member tries to gain membership again, it will deny him because he has the wrong password. The existing members are not seeing a change because it's not a login password, but a membership password. Is that right?

Re: HELP! - Need Password Change ASAP
Correct as far as what you're saying ..... lol.
Your settings should be as follows to make your board password protected.
Global board-wide access settings
Read access - Require membership
Write access - Require membership
Membership gaining method - Enter password to gain membership

This is correct.
