Edit Account Settings

That settings panel is all messed up. The 'confirm e-mail address' field has my username in it by default, 'current password' has some kind of code instead of a sentence explaining what goes in there. I can't seem to be able to change my e-mail address because it tells me I 'did not enter a confirm password', which I don't need unless I change the password, too. If I fill all password fields with my password, it says 'the password you entered is the same as the current password'. Believe me, I've tried all combinations.

Just checked my account settings and the info in it is where it is supposed to be. I can change the info too. So on my end, my account settings are normal.

Your user name and password are likely filled in autmatically, from saved password credentials - that would explain the "did not enter a confirm password" - you should remove the password entry from the e-mail field before submitting information in that form.

As for "code": please provide a screenshot.

You're right, that worked. Guess I was either tired or didn't think of it. One point of improvement: The 'New Password' field could be left blank to avoid confusion like that.

There's the screenshot. The lowest line should be human-readable. Looks like it was just forgotten.

it just happens to be filled out because of stored login details - potentially a rename of the fields would solve this, I'll have to have a look at it when i'm not in the middle of release engineering.

As for the current password, that should be filled out properly -- at least it is over here:

Current password:
To change your password, your email address, or your username, you must enter your current password.

Are you using British English? if so, that would mean that phpBB messed up their default language in 3.0.14

[Tharn]

Ohh, I get it. It added my name and password because I have them saved in Palemoon and the fields are a match. Would probably be neater if they weren't available to be auto-filled. There was a setting for this that some online banks use if I remember right.

And yeah, I'm using en-us.

[Moonchild]

en-us should be fine (no problem here). I said "British English"

[Tharn]

I tried safe mode as well as en-us, en-gb, en. It doesn't seem to make a difference.

Anyway, it's not a big deal, really. I got my profile updated.

I was talking about the setting in the forum, not in the browser...
I've changed it to American English for you - let me know if it still happens now.

[Tharn]

That fixed it. Didn't even know there was a language setting for the forums.

[Moonchild]

The default is US-English for anyone, so you must have changed it sometime
