No, I meant help.php.

Remove it in help.php as well?

Perhaps?

Mmm, looks a bit messed up in IE and FF. In IE, the navlinks don't match up with the lines (personally, I don't like that layout in any case). Also, in both browsers, the last post column doesn't extend far enough to the right. The space between the blue headers (eg: for category names) and the actual content makes them seem like they're not actually meant to be together.

Paul has title attributes on the buttons which mention the accesskeys (keyboard shortcuts that would click on the buttom). I'm not exactly sure why though. wink

OK, I just wanted to make sure you weren't getting the wrong idea. wink
Personally, it doesn't matter to me: I'm aware of the implications of putting details there and changing it to a password field would change nothing for me. The question really is, as you said earlier, whether or not any gain in security we get offsets any loss of usability.

What browser?

That's somewhat more difficult to do, since the buttons are generated after the rest of the page and we have to let extension authors create buttons as well, which could have different permissions levels. I think I'll let Rickard decide if we can/should move the button generation to just after we require header.php (not the actual output, just the generation).

Got it

It's not hashing, that would be impossible. It's changing the field from a plain text field to a password field, which would keep the password from being shown in the input field. It won't stop admins from viewing the source of the page and seeing the password. It won't stop people with access to the database from seeing the password. It will simply keep someone from looking over your shoulder at your screen (rather than at your keyboard) as you type it in. And the cost is that it's not as easy for you to tell whether or not you have entered your password correctly wink

A suggestion from me: a hook in admin/users.php to allow handling a new mass action.

It provides the illusion of security, and that can be harmful as well wink

The problem is also that it adds little in the way of security. How often do you change your admin options (specifically the SMTP settings) when someone is looking over your shoulder? That's the only situation where it helps: every other case does nothing because a person can look in the source of the page or directly in the database.

And after some testing, I'm ready to declare it not a bug. I could only replicate it on PunDemo and only when I had Javascript enabled. Which makes me think the other views are very swift Googlebot spidering of content for Adsense. wink

It's certainly possible: I've typed my password in incorrectly several times in a row before. I made several typos in the process of writing up this post, as a matter of fact. tongue

If one were in pedant mode, the answer would definitely be yes. big_smile A dual input and compare scenario as in the profile/registration password setup would work for finding typo's.

Except when you go to send emails and it doesn't work wink

Yes, my intent was simply to say that there don't need to be "pages" for extensions as an actual physical entity. Extensions can generate what they need.

Alt + Semicolon (with the US keyboard that's attached to my Mac).

A relative of mine just received a gift via Amazon; The message on the card was mangled because the "s were replaced with entities. So, I'm at least annoyed by the mangling or entities, one way or the other.

That's double escaping, which is wrong (or single escaping if the person tried entering the entity instead of "s) tongue

No, since you need to see the password to know what it is and know if it's typed incorrectly.

I have to relook at the permissions for those actions anyway: right now, they're limited to administrators although the buttons show up for mods and admins.

Erm... Nah.

I meant as in the above extension adds a left join for the topics as t. So now if someone creates another extension and trys the same thing there will be a problem?

That kind of confliction. It might not happen on this query but what about other queries. hmm

You mean if another extension tries to add a left join? Yes, I suppose, but I think you might be overestimating how often an extension would want to do similar things (assuming of course there is no conflicting functionality). It's something to consider though: we might force extension writers to use topics AS <t_<ext_id>, for example.

I have a feeling I know what this is due to, so I'll make a note to myself here and test it later:
redirect function, redirect time of 0

Yeah, that's really better via .htaccess.
