This should be of interest to all.

No more personal attacks.

Thank you!

I'm curious to know who was making personal attacks. I thought it was a rather fruitful conversation. I do notice that Captain tibbs is listed on the index list, but has no posts in the thread.

Having a 56Kbps connection alongside a broadband satellite connection.

I'd be curious if others have access to the same computer that you use.

Interesting. So often the problem is a result of people messing with someone's machine.

You can't figure it out, the only purpose it would have been put in there is to detect if 2 users had the same password as that long code that come up under the password table would be identicle for 2 different users in the same column or row. Even at that its difficult, for every other DB query or whatever its simple enough like to access someone's PM's (if you're the admin) but not for passwords. The code itself doesn't make any sense anyway, its not as if every a in every password = say the number "6" or letter "f" in the code. Say a poster had he password "famine" (for arguments sake) and another user had the password "Famine" (wth a capital F) the 2 codes in the DB would be totally different, different size and length of charachters, different total amount and the content itself would be totally different. Sorry Crystal but even at the highest levels its near impossibleto get someone's password from within.
