Profile Edit Has Changed
-
Making a small change in my profile and I couldn't save without having to supply my password. OK - not outrageous - done by financial institutions, &etc. Problem: the only place it seems I can enter it is in the 'change password' area. That was not my intention. Could this added security measure just pop-up a 'enter password', or even more clever, have a space for the password near 'SAVE' and disable SAVE until entered and matched?

It's annoying because you have to hover over a "change password" link to enter it. If password it required on all saves, then it needs to be part of the main form and not in a popup. Also, having a popup for changing password is just bad design to begin with.

Yes, the design is awful. There's no indication that you're being asked for your password. I had to come here and read this before I could work out how to change my email address.
- Pfft. Coddled kids. In my day, we used to telnet to port 80, then render the page with pencil and paper-- and that's the way we liked it! - Pshaw! Youngster. Your UID barely fits inside 16 bits. In _my_ day we had to whistle the 1's and 0's through an acoustic coupler! Tools that support "all of UTF-8 as long as it starts with ASCII" and tools that cannot handle these three [BOM] bytes at all are not really supporting UTF-8. - Michael Kaplan

It's not designed to work like this. I'll get this sorted out.
