Yup.

I didn't, but there does generally tend to be a notable increase in people mentioning larger version numbers when alternative software has upped it's primary point.

The confirm_referrer function is there for security purposes. I believe cross site scripting is merely one of the attacks you have made yourself open to by removing it.

It makes no difference whether it's labelled 1.3 or 2.0. It's not a pissing contest with other forum softwares. Primary number changes are normally used for a total rewrite, philosophy change, when you run out of .* numbers, or when you want to make people think it's a completely different beast. It still matters not a jot whatever the reason.

I just said hashing 'cos I couldn't think of the proper term offhand. It wasn't intended implicitly. Either way, I'm easy. The final decision belongs to you and the other Dev's.

I understand what you mean. It does seem overkill in theory for what should be a one time operation. I just happen to be from the old style camp where security is concerned. Every little helps. Only if it drastically restricts ease of use would I generally err on the side of ease, where possible.

Was trying to think of a subtle way of saying this but failed. Any muppet who can enter an incorrect password exactly the same twice is pretty much begging for things not to work properly.

You're welcome.

Most people will neither know nor care to find out specifics like that. A large percentage of people will expect to type what they please, (within reason), and have it work, without them knowing how or why. You over-estimate the general mindset, methinks.

The httpd daemon should be responsible for redirects like that, not the software.

Absolutely agree on that part. I assume that there would still be quite a few other areas that need sanitising too to make everything 1.1 compliant, or has 1.3 progressed in that regard? If anyone, (which is why I mentioned it being a fairly moot argument), makes it fully XML compliant, they'd have far more than just the description to contend with.
