@tiger,
I have not been into the forum for the last few days so I don't know what's happening around. It's not good to hear that the password recover system of the forum is not working which is very important feature because members often used to forget their passwords. It seems the forum is full of bugs, and that's the main reason people don't like to be active there. Anyway, I used to chat with one of the admins every day in YM, so today if I catch him online, I'll tell about your issue.
