If you (or some random noob) had been the one asking, I would have attempted to help. But as a living, thinking, creature, I have learned that when Nard asks for help, he is just wasting everyone's time.
Since apparently this time it actually *is* an issue, I've edited the reset post to put the email address inside <> to make it stand out more.
First I did not ask for any help especially to you o11c, because I would have got a quicker, faster and kinder answer from any one else in the development team. I just made a suggestion that it was possible to follow or not.
In 4 years of contributing to this forum; I learned that it was mostly useless to ask you anything since your replies arrive at a random time between 5mn such as this nice one, and a year, for some others, when they ever arrive... If I was the only one in this case it would have no importance.
You are right, I didn't read the post deeply enough.
How to enlighten an sentence? examples:
- < I've edited the reset post to put the email address inside <> to make it stand out more.>
- I've edited the reset post to put the email address inside <> to make it stand out more.
- I've edited the reset post to put the email address inside <> to make it stand out more.

not to speak about the size tag.
I speak now to reasonable persons:
The reason why I posted is because:
- I spent some noticeable time to retrieve this post first, because I remembered it and seeked in support forum, in the stickies, not in announcements.
- I found it with search for "password" keyword. Weirdly only Freeyorp's[ answer appears at the third page search.php?st=0&sk=t&sd=d&sr=posts&keyw ... d&start=30
- it appears under "Board index » General » News" and not under "Board index » Support » General support"
- I misunderstood the "passwords at themanaworld dot org" because of too fast reading and because Freeyorp's reply caught my eye and suggested the address was some were else. Tux's original post is certainly good enough for a news post, but it is not formatted as a help post shoud be. When you read it, nothing tells you that you are reading an announcement.
- All announcements may not be helpful: "Read Me First: How To Report Bugs.", for example, it does not even point to the correct wiki page...
- every well designed site have a problem-troubleshooting-FAQ page and some "forgot your Password/problems to login/ReadMeFirst" link placed in obvious place. example: http://forums.themanaworld.org/ucp.php?mode=login, https://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php ... =Main+Page
