Website Changes - Logging In

[TB]

Starting today we will be disabling the ability to sign in with your display name. This is not secure since display names are publicly viewable. Additionally we will be requiring stronger passwords when creating an account or changing your password. Since the site was down this morning I took the opportunity to update things on our ToDo list.

 

Update: We are now restricting the use of disposable email addresses. Anyone who signed up with a disposable/temporary email address such as MailCatch.com, will be prompted to change their email address. New registrations will be prompted to use a real email address if they attempt to use a disposable email address.

 

If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or rude remarks, please let me know below.

Is everyone going to get a new password prompt when they login

Nah no need, just tightening things up. The source of today's woes were from an automatic update gone sideways. Our VPS manager decided to apply an update without warning us. I figured I would use the down-time to update some things.

Can you also re-enable anonymous sign in?

I'll look into it. Do you mean just showing as offline when you sign in, or anonymous posting? We're not enabling anonymous posting but I can see what we can do for offline mode.

I meant showing as offline when we sign in.
