had never changed my password
could log onto bbo to play bridge but couldn't log onto forums with the same password.
what would cause that as they were both the same.
had to log onto bbo and change password to log onto forums?
seemed sort of strange to have to do that.

That shouldn't happen. They both refer to the same database to check the password.

I think I see the problem.

The forum is case-sensitive when checking passwords, the BBO app isn't.
