Description of problem

Hi all. In our forum all new members are limited to post PM until the staff decide they are able to do it. But from 2 weeks, when I go to members profile and try to click on the option for limited PM, on the field for members EMAIL I see MY USERNAME and when I try to save the changes, the error occured - the password is incorrect and the mail address is invalid.
So, I tried several times to change something in user profile and every time the members password disappears and I see MY USERNAME on the field for members email. Help?

Hello

Could you please provide a screenshot to be sure I've well understood you problem ?

Thanks in advance

Hello

I am not sure to well understand... You username is Algona on the forum. Am I right?
I have tried to modified the password of fanthomas and managed without problem... 



Maybe I missed something...

Thanks for your help  

Yes, I am the founder and admin with username algona.
Please, can you try to restrict the PM of this or someone else  from users and see what happens? I have trouble to do this for every member. Thank you.

Hello

I have disallowed private message to this user without trouble

Okay I think I've understood where the problem is coming from.
There is a similar topic on the French support: http://forum.forumactif.com/t378362p30-le-meme-mail-d-enregistre-pour-un-grand-nombre-de-membres#3191164

I saw you are using Fire Fox. Le problem is linked to the activation of auto-fill of fields with Firefox. (The problem doesn't happen on our browser that's why I didn't manage to re-create the bug).

If you want to deactivate auto-fill please refer to their support: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/control-whether-firefox-automatically-fills-forms#w_using-auto-form-fill

You are just fantastic. Problem solved, thank you

Your welcome. happy to help your
