   I have now re-entered all the usernames and passwords into the new system.  One difference between the old and new systems is that on the new system, passwords must be a minimum of seven characters in length, so:
   1. If your existing password is seven characters long or longer...
      Your username and password are exactly the same as they were before, including any upper case characters.
   2. If your existing password is less than seven characters long...
      Your username is exactly the same as before, including any upper case characters.  Your password is the same as before, including any upper case characters, but is now padded out to seven characters long using "9"s.  So, if your existing password is, for example "Dave", your new one will be "Dave999".

   There are a very small number of cases where usernames have had to be changed because they contained characters that are not allowed under the new system, but these people have been informed separately by email.

It is highly unlikely that I have got away with entering several hundred usernames and passwords without dropping a clanger or two along the way, so if you have problems, please contact me (Web Administrator) using the details on the Contact Us page, and I will look into it as soon as possible.
