Anyone else having this issue? When trying to change my signature it asks about my password and says they don't match.

After this I get logged out and am unable to update my signature.

this has been mentioned before, and IIRC the solution was to disable your firewall and virus software and try it again.

Reset password?

It tells me my passwords don't match and acts like I am trying to reset my password.

It never used to be that way.

You can just give me your password and I'll update your sig for you, you know, to save you the hassle.

on one computer i have, when i go to the profile screen, the browser fills in the first password box , but not the verify password box

if i change the signature and don't clear the first password box, i get a similar message (since the blank verify box doesn't match the filled in password)


so make sure the password boxes are clear when changing your signature or avatar or other stuff in your profile

Try clearing out your cookies? I just had the same problem with Firefox, but I use Cookieculler to protect some of my stored cookies. I switched to IE, logged in, and was then able to change my sig.
