What`s going on with log in`s?

[racinghamster]

I just had to ask for a new password to be able to log in? After nearly four attempts, I managed to log in with the new details I was sent from HQ. When I came to the HC homepage this morning, there was a banner above the usual page that said welcome guest. And gave instruction to join the forum? I tried a few times to log in using my racinghamster username and my password, but it just kept saying it was invalid?

Has anyone else had this happen and had to request a new password? I thought something had changed on the forum and we were all having to re join? Strange....
