Hi all,
There's been some confusion on login issues, and we think that we may have it figured out. If you are STILL having issues with login, please do the following.

OK, retried it and succeeded. The issue, I guess, was that my original password was too short to be accepted. But the error message didn't say that. Anyway, I clicked on the "forgot password" link, got an email that allowed me to log in and then change the password. When I tried to input the old password, I got the notice that the password wasn't long enough, and then I made the password longer and everything now is peachy keen.

First, I tried exactly what you said to do in the original post, and I got the exact same result as yoyo did in his reply to you. Then, after he said he got the login to work by lengthening his password, I tried doing that. My original password was only 6 characters long, so I re-entered a new, 10 character pass here at the forums. I then again logged out of the forums, and tried to log in to MacTech, but got the exact same "Unrecognized Username or Password" error that I have always gotten.

If a person tries to get a new account, and
If that person does not enter a password that satisfies the secure conditions of this site,
One may not get a new account unless they fuss around with capitals, numbers, letters and number of characters in a configuration that will satisfy the requirements.
I'm going to keep what log-ins I have and if in the future they keep me out of any MacTech/MacNews sites, I'm out! I'm just too old to change my ways.
Never thought it would ever happen, but I think I can even live without a forum. Whoa! . . . . . . .

That DEFINITELY won't work.
The idea here is for the forums to NOT control the login -- but the main site (which will do many more thigns) to control the login. So, the password needs to change at the main site, not the forums.
