Don’t know if you know it yet but boards.ie has been hacked and access to user names and passwords has been achieved. They’re recommending you change your passwords if you use the same name and passwords at other sites.
It says the passwords were hashed, so there’s not a lot of
danger but if you used the same password in any important
place then you’d be wise to change it (in the important place –
not at boards.ie). Look up rainbow table attacks if you’re bothered.
