A little help-- password/e-mail mixup?

About 2-3 hours ago I recieved an old nation back that I had loaned out to a friend. Upon changing the password and e-mail address back to what it was when I owned it I got a telegram from the "Nationstates Moderators" asking me to log out and use the "forgot password" function. I complied, the request seemed reasonable enough and the nation in question did not ask for my password. I also know the moderators use that nation (NS Moderators) as a courier of sorts when they don't want to use their own nation.

Anyways... I haven't yet recieved an e-mail giving me a new password and I can't log into the nation in question using my old password. It said the e-mail would be "delivered shortly," or something to that effect. Perhaps I'm just a bit impatient, but I think after 3 hours something must be wrong. If someone could help me out a bit... as to what exactly happened... it would be appreciated.

the nation in question is "Tilvek."

This has happened to me as well. It takes anywhere from three days to a week. Since the holidays are around, expect a small delay.

All right, I figured I was overreacting... it's just never happened to me before. This is some kind of security thing perhaps?

*shrugs* I'll wait then... 3 days it is.

I think that password emails may not take quite as long. If you don't get something in 24 hours, let me know. I'm still digging up everything, so I should know better by then the whole chain of events.

I'm trying to track this one down. If I can't figure out what went on in another day, I'll grab a GM to reset your password manually.

Just a friendly reminder to Salusa, who I'm sure is already finished with my case. :wink:

Nah, I need to grab a GM for this one. I'll look at this again tomorrow, when I'm awake.

Yeah, I'll take some responsibility for this one taking forever. I'll try to polish this off in a day or two. If nothing happens by then, feel free to bump it again.
