I'm posting this early, to give everyone a chance to read it and make any necessary changes to their accounts.
On Tuesday, 26 August, we will be upgrading to a new version of vBulletin's forum software. One of the changes in this upgrade will be the allowed password for each account.
From the vBulletin Web site -
The most effective password will contain a random arrangement of letters (both upper and lower-case) and numbers.

I do hope none of you are using this type of password, as it does leave your account vulnerable to being cracked. I cannot stress enough the need for you to use different passwords on different sites and to change the passwords frequently.[This upgrade] will contain bug fixes, but will also address a situation related to users that use their username as their password. In 3.6.11 and 3.7.3, this will be completely disallowed. Users affected by this will be forced to change their password on their first login.
