Hi all,
 

We would like to inform you of an upcoming change to the forum login process. Invision, the developer of our forum software, will soon update the login system. Following this update, you will need to use your registered email address to log in, rather than your display name, if you do not already do so.

Why the change?

This update will help improve security, it also streamlines the process for password recovery and account management. 

Don’t worry!

  • Your display name will remain unchanged, and other members will still see your display name as they always have
  • Your email address will not be displayed to others - it will only be used for login purposes
  • Your password will remain the same, and you won’t need to change it unless you choose to
  • If you log in to Canal World using your Google or Microsoft account, don’t worry - this change won’t affect you
     

To find out which email address is associated with your account, [click here].
 

We will inform you of the exact date for this change, but you are welcome to start logging in with your email address right away if you prefer.


Any questions please let us know.

 

Thanks

I usually remain permanently logged in.

 

Will I need to login again when the new system is implemented?

It wont happen until you either log out, or clean your device (C-Cleaner or other cookie/debris removal tool)

 

Thanks Matty.

Not until you logout for any reason or sign in using a new device.

The Weather forum I use went this way about 9 months ago.

It had a page top banner warning of the change for about 6 months prior.


We will probably do something similar nearer the time but some complain about those so won't keep them running for too long. For now everyone will receive a notification regarding this when they next login to the forum, which we will likely repeat nearer the time as well.

Hi everyone,
 

This is a final reminder about an upcoming change to the forum login process. Invision, our forum software provider, will be updating the login system on Monday, 24th February. After this update, you’ll need to log in using your registered email address instead of your display name, if you aren’t already doing so.
 

Why is this changing?

This update is necessary to maintain software compatibility with Invision’s latest features and improvements, as well as to enhance security and streamline password recovery and account management.
 

What you need to know:
 

  • Your display name stays the same – other members will continue to see it as usual
  • Your email address remains private – it will only be used for login purposes
  • Your password won’t change, unless you choose to update it
  • If you use Google or Microsoft to log in, this change won’t affect you
     

To check which email address is linked to your account, visit the Account Settings page. More details are available in the Announcements forum.
 

We’ll notify you once the change is implemented, but you can start logging in with your email address immediately if you prefer.

 

Thanks,

Rich

The joys of Android/Google all my logins/passwords are saved in grt big file and presented to me when I go to log in.

Banking requires a finger rather than a password.

I really can’t see this is a big deal. I just logged out, logged in using my email. Windows offered the existing password and then asked if I wanted to update the login details, I said Yes. End of.

Maybe the big(ish) deal is the people who used an old and now redundant and long forgotten email address to register, way back in the mists of time.

 

 

 

 

Point being, how do you find out what email you used to register?

The email you use to register is on your profile, not visible to visitors just you
