Forum Upgrade

as far as I know the forum software has encrypted passwords which the op can't even access (it used to anyway). So don't worry mash. your bank password is safe.

bank?

It's the goddamn porn site access that I'm worried about. Those logons are worth millions, I tells ya.

greedy. you should be sharing that shit (don't tell nimbhus though - he hates sharing).

How did you know their passwords? I'm seriously hoping that this was a username hash == password hash, rather than the more insidious alternative?

Basically yes.

I store:

• username
  
• user salt (unique gibberish value to guarantee hashed passwords cannot be looked up in a hash database)
  
• password hash
  
  

So to check who had set the password the same as the username I:
if (md5(username + user salt) == password hash) {
inform user and change password
}

No actual passwords are stored on the server, and if you read the javascript you'd see that your password is never sent to the server if javascript is enabled (password is hashed in the browser and only the hashed value is sent).

if (md5(username + user salt) == password hash) {
inform user and change password
.

yep...thats what i would have done.

Love the new banner. But Charco is right, and the text is less legible. But I say we f*ck the glasses-wearers.
Godammed four-eyed nuisances!!

Lol.

@VB: when did this happen? do all categories have leaders*?

Happened when Social Group leaders could create Forums.

A while ago.

Though that layout is now bugging me.

Fixed.

Extra HTML tag fail.

Loving the new headers VB. Looks really fresh. Nice one bruvva! :)

VB.. could we have some sort of alert when threads become slanging matches? similar to a crowd of children yelling "fight fight fight". I tend to miss the juicy kick-offs until long after the event [e.g when the biker boys turned up, the scientologist etc.]

p.s. headers are mint but I occasionally yearn for london eyerospok

Has the forums font size changed since yesterday? I'm not sure if it's my eyes or my computer but everything on here seems to be slightly smaller.

if you're on a PC, you probably held down CTRL and moved the wheel of your mouse.

If you're on a Mac then gawd knows...

PC: Ctrl and +or-
Mac: Cmd and +or-

Thanks fred that seems to be what happened. all is well again.

Just done another big upgrade, changed loads this time.

PM Search is now working.
New features on the photos page.
Lots of bug fixes.
Mobile theme updated.

But as usual, please let me know if anything has broken as a result... from the timestamp of this post forward (so if it broke 15 minutes ago whilst I was updating, check again before you tell me).

Cheers

David

woot for the pm search!

Hippy's sooo popular he needs to search through his PMs. Ooooohhhh.

hahaha you mean, hippy's insulted so much he needs to find out who called him what.. :)

OK, So this morning I'll be doing a whole load of updates, and whilst I do this the forum may be temporarily unavailable... perhaps up until noon.

Just to let you know, etc.

Oh, this is the backup point... should I fuck up... we roll back to now.

And for stats fans... and as a note to me if I'm looking for hosting anytime soon... we're now using 200GB of bandwidth a month. 30GB in, 170GB out. And this is a doubling of how much we used a year ago, even though I'm now using gzip on all pages and have increased the proxy caching times significantly.

Shit, what have you done!?
