Change password..

I was actually not aware that our members are forced to change their password all the time. I agree that this is pointless - it just encourages people to use simple passwords. However, it seems unlikely that anyone lost their VIP status over this, as only the STANDARD usergroup had password expiration enabled. One would think that the primary usergroup would override the settings of secondary groups, and if you have a VIP account, STANDARD is a secondary group.

In any case, the password expiration option has now been disabled for STANDARD as well.
