Ok. Something is REALLY wrong.

[lildreamer316]

Not only has my password here been changed, but I am supposed to be notified by email when someone PMs me.
According to my email account,I have not been PMd since the last time I cleaned it out, which was over a month ago.
My inbox has over 30 PMs.
Ohhhhhhhhh. This is NOT good.:scared:

1. Sounds like someone figured out your password

and is having fun with your account. What is the e-mail adress in your profile? (don't post it, just verify that it's yours)

Talk to the administrators about this.

2. Ok, I solved part of the problem.

for some reason, all the messages from DU were going into my junk folder. I fixed that problem, but it dosen't explain how the password was changed in the first place.
I'm just going to start from scratch and hope that works. Wish me luck!

3. Do you know what it is right now?

If so, change it to something else, and make sure no one gets to it. Also, log out when you leave DU on a public computer (even the one at home, might be a kid or something).

4. Yep,

already done.
It's possible someone got to it from the laptop.
I'm just gonna keep the AVG on from now on ^^^^^, also. I'm a dumbass sometimes!

5. Happens to the best of us. nt

6. Also, never, ever, store passwords. Any of 'em.

It's a pain to type them in every time, but it's a bigger pain when they're left in a folder easily reached by hackers.

7. Locking.

This could be caused by many things outside of DU. Please email the admins directly here and let them know about the problem you have: http://www.democraticunderground.com/contact.html

Thank you!
