Spam - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A STONG PASSWORD IN PLACE.

We've been thinking about enforcing strong passwords for everyone, forcing everyone to change it periodically.
But that would increase the amount of users that are having problems registering, as well as problems resetting their passwords.
Which would put a train on our already limited volunteer resources.
And plus we'd have to listen to a number of you whine...

What do you guys think, how much of an inconvenience would it be if you log on one day and the forum forces you to change your password, and enforces a complex one?

You do what you feel is best for BWE, most of us understand and will do what you ask of us. If we did not like this site we would be gone. You do a great job for our community. Keep up the good work. Tight lines to all.

Thanks Bob!!

In the meantime - you guys should not wait. On BWE, or ANY other place on the internet where you have a login account - you better have a strong password.

Sven, I see the problem.
This is because we purged those spam PMs before you got to read it/it got marked as read.
Hangn' in there, we'll figure it out.

10-4 masta,
I'm workin' on it, workin' on it...
Put the whip down!

Masta', are you good now?

This is going to be tough to do the mass update, as there are accounts that truly have unread PMs - we don't want to reset count on those.

Anyone else that still has this problem - shoot me a PM and I'll fix it on case-by-case bases.

svendawg - you should be good.

Good here. Had the count of one with no message but it finally 0'd out. Thanks Adi.

Thanks Mark!

If any one of you still has this problem with PM notifications showing unread messages and all are read - just hit me up, we'll fix it.

Adi,
Thanks for all you do here as admin. If this site didn't correctly function I would have to actually work at work, and that would suck!

as far as the password goes, if I have to change it here, I will be forced to change it on every site I go to on the inter web thingy.

but no worries.

Yep, I got one of of these unintended consequences that needs fixin.

Someone took the time out to PM me about his book. Good thing I got a copy from BWE in my gmail to read.
