Email Notifications Failing (mostly Telstra)

Hello everyone. Seems there is an issue with Telstra (possible others) blocking email from our server. If you are trying to sign up I would suggest a different email if possible. If you're trying to reset your password and it fails please use the Contact Us page:

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • password troubles

    Hi. First post! I just created an account and as per normal used my password manager to generate a random and unique password for this site. This password was accepted by the form. I received the confirmation email and did the clicky linky thing, then tried to login — pasting the password from my password manager — and failed, twice. Are there some hidden password restrictions in effect here?

    The random password would have been 64 characters (per NIST guidelines) and contained letters, numbers and various punctuation.

      I used the password reset feature. That wasn't really the point of my post.

      I posted because it seems users can make it through the complete new-user process and then be unable to login without a password reset.

        I'm not aware of any restrictions in place for passwords on here, although I do find that some sites will limit you to 12/16/24 characters. A 64 character unique and random password is probably overkill for a forum that holds little or no personal information beyond email address, but I get that you have a standard approach.

        vBulletin being an off the shelf piece of software means it does what it does and I have zero control over it. If it's still playing up I'd try dropping it back to 32 characters and see if that works or even back to 16.

        If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.
