Passwords are stored encrpyted in our database. None of the admin interfaces in our system will show anyone your password. The only point at which a password is unencrypted is when it's sent back to you.
We have thought long and hard about one-way encryption or hashing but when surveyed our members asked to be able to recover, not reset, their passwords.
Maybe it's time we asked again...

I think the choice should always be security over convenience.

Well, there's nothing wrong with generating a temporary password. It's not as though it's impossible for a user to change their password after logging in.

Is there any way that a feature like that can be added?
Ive started working on WPF a week or so back and if posting XAML code i have to check the "Ignore HTML tags in this message" check box or it doesn't show up, which looks ugly and messes up my sig.
Thanx

I agree. The site actually needs to automatically convert the < and > symbols.

It does if you have "Ignore HTML tags in this message" but id we convert all < tags within PRE blocks then it means you can't include markup within a PRE block.
I think what might make more sense is to have "Ignore HTML inside PRE/CODE blocks" as a default setting but allow it to be unchecked.

The 'Do not interpret HTML tags' now only applies to the message, not to the sig.

I actually suggested this awhile back, maybe this post might have a bit more sway.

Today the 'get download numbers' item bubbled closer to the top of the pile so hopefully soon.

And will the 'get bookmarked numbers' be trailing in its wake?

For people that want to find messages from another given user (or themselves), have a "Time Machine" feature that returns all message from the specified user within the specified time frame
BTW, has the search stuff been fixed yet?

Time machine: I will add that to the TODO

You'll have to remind me which particular bit you're talking about.

The bit where it differentiates between timeouts and no results maybe?

0) The drop-down calendar controls start at 2006. Why doesn't it start at 1999 (or 2000)? I have to manually type in the date to get results.
1) It seems to me that the search function should handle absences of required data. If no text is specified in the "search for" field, it should return all messages within the specified date range. If no date has been specified, it should default to the most recent 30 day span.
2) Since a user must be specified, I think it would be better to have the field displayed under the search text field, but above the dates.
3) A search that potentially returns a lot of results usually ends with an error message claiming the search timed out - this happens almost immediately after clicking the Search button. Instead of presenting an error, why don't you just limit search results to the 100 most recent items and add a note at the top of the returned results reminding the user to refine his dates/search text, or forum selection.
4) There is no help on the search page about how to manually type in the date. I dropped the date control down and selected the 1st of the current month to see how you wanted it.
5) Provide a method to return more results (in case the max of 100 was reached and there are more that could be returned).
I had another thing, but my wife started talking and I had to devote 100% of my attention to the discussion, and I subsequently forgot what I was going to say here.

0) The calendar control is being replaced
1) Added to TODO
2) I'll think about it.
3) We need to fix that bug. But if a search has no matches then it should return no results, not an essentially random set of results. Regardless of how many big notices we put stating "These results are just to give you something to look at and have nothing to do with your search request" we'll get lots of "your search returns results that have nothing to do with me search terms" emails
4) Interesting. I'll fix.
5) Not sure what you mean. It returns as many results as are there.

5) If the search takes too long (presumably because there are a lot of results), the user gets n error saying the search timed out.

That would be a cool feature to have.
