Security thing

The online users page is a neat feature, as evidenced by the recent thread in Other. However, I think it gives away a bit more than necessary sometimes. For example, I know that Jester just wrote a PM to Asylunt. digitalbliss also wrote one to Jester, and Kriss wrote one to asdafaf (which I would pay to see, by the way).

That's not a huge security flaw, but it is more information than is really necessary. It would be only slightly more than trivial to write a script that would graph all PMs over time.

Another minor one is the consecutive numbering of photos. That makes it possible to see every photo posted to private forums or in PMs, afaik.

The Online Users security issue has already been discussed. Knowing that Jester is writing PMs to Asylunt tells you nothing, and isn't really a security issue.

The consequetive numbering of images does mean someone can see all of them, but that's fine, since they aren't meant to be used for super-secret stuff. There's really not much I can do about that one.

Shit Jester! Our secrets out! Uhh...we were just playing a game of 20 questions I swear!

Seriously though, I bet noone really noticed that until you mentioned it, maybe some super slueth like Krenta, but noone normal

The picture thing might be fun to look through, I hear Jester posted some pics of his groupies at one time, might try and track those down.

I noticed quite some time back that when you clicked on the "writing a PM" link by someone's name, you could see whom they were writing to. I guess it didn't really bother me or seem like something to worry about.

Lol, we have been exchanging PMs for a couple of days now. So far so good, blood isn't spurting out of my ears or anything yet.
