Security test

RRP

OK - I'm logged out on the new board.[p]I know this post on the old board will go through the one way worm hole to the new board.[p]Then according to what CitySlicker is doing I should be able to reply on the new posting as a guest.[p]See where I'm going with this? Let me tell you on the other side...

Here I'm replying without being signed in. If this post shows up then it proves that imposters can still rip off peoples indentities! That's a bummer!

See the havoc? It could happen to any of us!

Yes I'm actually RRP posting as you!

Grandpas Grub

That's concerning. Wouldn't you have to know Ron's password and login name?

This does show up in Black. As I recall, guest login only requires a email address, any email address and the picture login letter/number sequence.

That would only prevent spam and autospam login.

I need to check something on the green login's.

after reading all the posts over the years i know everything about ron, his dogs name, mothers maiden name etc. actually i dont know why it worked, i cant even log in myself to show you how literate i am with these things. cant even email ron without going back to the old forum and getting his adress there or looking thru my own email log. if i can do that, anybody here can

Hummm,

The 2008/02/15 15:06:42 post was fishlessman (pict of dog not egg)?

GG

Grandpas Grub

I think I understand the dog picture, it is not Ron's dog but yours!?

GG

fishlessman

i think i could actually fix that by switching browsers and copying rons stuff, this is not right

Grandpas Grub

I agree!

RRP,

At the moment, there is nothing blocking a) posts from the old forum which acts as a wide open back door to the new one; and, b) someone posting under an existing handle w/out being logged in to that account.

We will soon shut down the old forum which will close the "back door"; and, I will tweak the forum software to block attempts to post using an existing handle when not logged in. I've not done this yet because of the registration issues, but most of them have been resolved; so, soon I will go ahead and make this change.
