Congratulations on your new forums website. It looks good and seems like it has good functionality.

However, there are some issues I've discovered that you might want to pay attention to:
  1. Your site is unsecure; it's using http: instead of https:. Browsers such as Chrome and Safari are close to forbidding connection to http sites.
  2. I entered a password that was accepted; however, when I logged out and attempted to log back in, the site told me my password was unacceptable. The reason turned out that I was specifying too many characters (30). When I made a new password only 20 chars long, that was accepted. You need to validate new passwords before you accept them:
    1. How long can they be.
    2. What characters are required. (letters? digits? punctuation? If punctuation, which symbols? How many of each group are needed, if any? Is "password" a legitimate password?) Good websites tell you what they expect.
  3. Please don't always set my default to "stay logged in" and ignore when I say that I don't want to.
These are common web site problems; however, be special and please fix these.

The HTTPS is easy enough to fix, we will have to dig into some of the others. You are not the first to run into the password issue. Thanks!
