Yes, if you have noticed, the changes aren't just limited to looks. It's a whole new software with lots of new cool features.

Old username/password combinations no more working!

Due to the encryption on passwords we use, they cannot be deciphered, not even by the admin. The new software's encryption differs from the previous software, so we have to generate all new passwords. To get started with it, you will have to follow the following steps:

1. Go to Lost password page.
2. Enter your email address and submit.
3. .. wait 1-10 minutes, and then check your Inbox.
4. Follow the confirmation link provided in the email.
5. .. wait 1-10 minutes again, and you will have your password.
6. Login using the new password, and once you're logged in, it should be better to change it back to your old or a different password that's easy to remember.
7. That's it, done!
   

Username contains special characters?
If your username contains special characters, not part of a typical english keyboard, then you're in trouble. Email at admin [at] bollyent [dot] com with the following info:
- Your previous username/password combination.

Do not remember the email you used last time?
Email at admin [at] bollyent [dot] com with the following info:
- Your previous username/password combination.

What are the new features?
Well, I will leave it to you to explore new features. Anyone interested in getting the title of "Explorer Of BE"? Get on work, and compile a list of new features as you see them.!
