    Hrmm.. and if you use a valid email? Then that person has access. In addition, if it's an account that is high on the AP total list they could use the account to do malicious assignments of APs plus post as "you" in a malicious manner.

    Keezel, do you have the possibility to tunnel the connection? Perhaps it might be worthwhile to put in a Site Suggestion to have the login (much like Yahoo and hotmail do) SSL encrypted. Or put forward a suggestion of the creation of a non-posting, non-AP receiving short-term browse account (maybe only browses for 5 - 10 min for a specific period for a specific IP)?

    There is no "guest" account, at least not at this time. I haven't been around long enough to know about the "GG incident", but nothing like that will be going on anymore.

    Creation of temporary accounts is something that isn't going to happen.

    It seems like I've read the reasoning behind vB not adding the option for encrypted logins to their software, but I can't remember what that was (and we don't use anything like clean vB code anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter that much). I'll look into this and let you guys know whether it's feasible.
