From the previous thread

IT's on my list fellas.

As an IT guy, I don't get the obsession with added security features on anonymous recreational sites. If somebody hacked my password here, they would gain absolutely nothing. Well, other than my fine reputation as a thread-killer, lol.

I mean seriously, I get it with banks, credit cards, all types of e-commerce, etc. But having to pay for an SSL Certificate on a forum? Seems unnecessary to me.

I am just cranky because I run several non-critical password-required websites, and I have been flooded with end-user tears over this new "security feature". "But... But... It says it isn't secure!" Nothing is secure honey, now go back to sleep.

I get both sides of it...

LB-1911,

Thank you for the information but Security on the web is getting some eyes on it. My Firefox now tells me not to log into this site because it is not secure it drivers me crazy.

Im in the IT business and now everything needs to be secure.

Thankx

You still aren't transmitting a clear-text password to the website anyhow. It hashes & salts it before sending so even though your browser doesn't send it via an encrypted link, the PW itself is encrypted.

You've told us you live in Tampa area. You've started a thread mentioning a 4+ car garage and that you have a suburban and a play car. In 3 minutes I've narrowed you down to less than a couple hundred people, in another 10 I could cut it down further, and if I wasn't on my phone, zillow and Google might do better than that.

You want security but you post identifying information on a public forum.
