SE Future...

[Webby]

randomly generated passwords are now only alphanumeric characters (upper and lower case) and a max of 10 characters long

I'm also adding a secret question/password thing so that instead of having a random password mailed to you, you can answer your secret question, and (assuming you get it right) define your new password right there.  I'm doing it to save those schmucks who don't have sendmail configured right on their server.

I'm getting several emails per day with the question to reset member's passwords, because it just doesn't work right.  It is great that it will be in the next release, but I'm really in need of this improvement, because I already have a lot of members on my board.

Could you guys please get this solution (as mentioned above) out as a mod / bugfix, because I think the release of v1.3.0 will still take some time, and I'm getting tired of resetting passwords for my (new) members  .

Please ? And again : please ?

No.  It will be here soon enough.  However, we do now know not to mention anything about future releases since some people are too impatient...

that sentence is still spinning in my head...  

[Webby]

I suppose you are NOT talking about me (Jeff), because I'm not asking for the release, but for the solution for those passwords that just don't work.  And you guys know that allready.
I really think it would have been better to release a mod or solution for this problem because it is essential !

But if you think I'm asking about the release : just read the post I made this morning again  

And then again : just asking for a solution is not a crime at a support board is it ??

[Jeff Lewis]

The solution will be out soon, don't be impatient

We're now looking at another 4 weeks of beta testing...

[kurgan]

4 weeks... mmmm thats a loooong time   to wait )

[Webby]

It is not that I am impatient, for I am struggling with this passwords-problem for several weeks now.
And I know that the solution has been made in nothing more than a couple of hours, so hence my request to get that piece of code (i.e. the solution) out as a temp. bugfix.
I noticed there are a "lot" of people with the same problem, that is why I dared to ask it again (I used the word "please" twice   )

Whoops, I just read your IM.  Thanx for the reply, and I won't "bug" you in the near future  

[kurgan]

yes in fact that would be really nice... god knows how many people try to register and then never comes back to my forum because they get bounced..

[Jeff Lewis]

It's not really going to be 4 weeks  Just thought I'd throw that out to really get on some peoples nerves - it worked  Made me feel better  

It's coming out soon enough which is why we didn't release a fix for it.  Also, it has worked properly on 95% of the systems out there.

No need to reply to my IM, because I know now what you meant   LOL !

Thanx !

My board works fairly bug free thanks to Jeff but I'm extremely excited about the long awaited release of 1.3    :::paces back and forth:::

Now we all know who is king of the world at this paticular point...

Well, we're naturally going to tackle the remaining bugs and things like that but what else do you want to see to take YaBB to the next level?

Was there something about another forum you liked or thought would be good for YaBB?

Hey Jeff,

Put another  'previous next'  near the bottom of the page.......or the mouse gets it!

OK?

Unnerstand punk?

Sheesh.....some people...

Bruce the muscle.
