Click read more for information on the above.

1) Forgotten Password Function I get several emails a week saying "forgot password function didnt send me my password".

The answer is: Yes it has sent your password, but it is probably in your junk folder or just delayed.

Check your junk folder, or wait for it to arrive. If it doesnt, then do "forgot password" again.

It isnt broken.

2) Password tips If you do not stick to the two golden rules below. Then you have it comming to you. Golden Rule #1. Do not use the same password twice. Golden Rule #2. Never use a simple one word password, like "apple".

Tip is to add a couple numbers to the end of a rare word. Problem solved and its very unlikely your password will get cracked.

Why am i stating the obvious?

Because some people still use "qwerty" or "password" as their passwords and use that password for everything.

Now what happens if/when someone grabs a few HBH hashes from the database. And by a few, I mean everyones.

Yes HBH uses custom encyrption algorithm, which means someone has to get that and then write their own cracker and then go and crack each hash individually. Which someone will probably get bored 1/2 way and stop.

But.. if in the rare event that happens somewhere down the line, you want to be dam sure your hbh password isnt easily cracked by a dictionary file and that its not the same as your paypal account etc!

So if your password is easily crackable. Change it. Why not get our system to generate a secure password for you by using the "Forgot Password" Function.

3) Forum Voting System When this is released its going to be uber awesome.

Only a tiny bit of PHP left to do and its good to go. I'll get Flash to knock us up some good images for it and then it can be released.

Hopefully this will be a great success and should encourage friendly interaction and also allow for in the future for a thread search system baed on ranking etc.

Hopefully it will be out by the end of the month, or early december.

Anyway… there we go. Hope everyone has had a good weekend, and enjoy the week ahead of you!

I can stop typing now :)
