    Thanks for pointing it out GeniusDragon. One can never be too lax on security.

    You zimmi....
    Then if no response within a reasonable time you escalate the matter appropriately.

    Thanks for the tip though, just another reason to create username/passwords unique to each site that you log into.
    As it would relate to this situation (post).. the car door is being left open because of a fault due to the manufacturer.. not the owner of the car.

    A 'courteous' passerby would instruct the owner to look into the manufacturer flaw or the passerby would contact the manufacturer directly and make them aware of the problem.

    What flaw? if someone left their door open how is that manufacturer fault?

    Was making an example.. but there might be an issue with the locking mechanism.. there might be an issue with the alarm system disarming.. can be a million reasons.. (In theory)

    Just beating at the point that the issue is manufacturer ralated. (Forum software)

    Lol the scenario was specific. The locks are working. Stick to the topic. The door was left open, which happens to everyone. Which is not manufacturer related.

    It relates.. websites have various levels of security based on the software/content management system they use.

    TechJamaica does not have the level of security it has because the site owner choose it.. it has it because it is what's provided by vBulletin.

    There are plugins/add-ons which can be installed to boost security (I have many installed on my site)

    I would appreciate more if you point out a problem and offer insight into how the problem can be fixed.. telling me to go find it myself is very disingenuous.

    I see you cant stay on topic or admit someone is right. no problem.

    You dont have to use stock vBulletin. It can be edited to add stuff that dont come with it. It is called programming.

    Not about being wrong or right..

    Add stuff.. did original poster offer any insight into adding stuff? Did he mention ways in which security can be improved. Nope.. he said we must go find out ourselves..

    Original poster seems to be an alter ego of yours lol

    You are wrong, it has nothing to do with manufacturer if someone leaves their door open. But you have to add "ifs" and "buts" to avoid being wrong

    Well he started by alerting of the security flaws and he also mention SSL. Implementing these things can be huge task especially when modifying someone else software.

    It has to be worth doing. In my opinion it isnt worth it on a forum like this where no transactions happen (site owner might think otherwise). However he is not wrong in posting what he did.
