The concept of a session ID is not present in elog, so implementing it would be harder
than writing elog from scratch. Keeping the thousand 'expansion' flags in cookies is bad
as well, because your browser will send them all each time you request a page, which can
then slow down things considerably over slow lines. |

ok, i've downgraded my request then ...
it will be still useful to have the possibility of expland selectively a single thread :-) |

That you can do by clicking on the thread and look at the thread at the top of the page (;-))
That's exactly the same number of clicks as you would need to expand a thread (:-))) |

LOL ..this way I can't see the list of other threads .. so il my goal is to inspect the thread
looking for something I have to:
- open the 3d
- return to 3d list
- open another 3d ..
[loop]
my wish would be to reduce it to
- open the 3d
- open another 3d ..
[loop]
of course I'm thinking to a big number of entries in a short number of 3ds .. making ugly to
simply expand everything .. :-) |

Well, I have the browser's back button on one of my mouse buttons, so "- return to 3d list" is one
mouse click. My policy is: If I can save someone two or more mouse clicks for am operation, I will
implement it. If it's less, it's not worth investing some hours of programming just to save 0.5s
each tim (;-).
Ok ok, I'll put it on the wish list. Just in case I'm running out of work. :-) |

| Alex H | alex@synergie-inf.com | Request | | 2.5.8-6 | password encryption |
Hi Stefan,
I have found a little problem with elog. I'am using ELOG V2.5.8-6. When I'am on the logon page,
I type my Login and password and hit "submit", in the bottom of IE, we can show my password without encryption, it can be dangerous. I have made a screenshot to explain my problem better.
Could you fix it for the next release ?
Thanks a lot.

Unfortunately there is no real way around that. If a password is entered into a text box, it is always transferred in plain text (which means that in security-sensive installations one should always use SSL together with elog). I encrypt it on the server side and do an immediate redirect which "hided" the plain password, but if your connection is slow, you might see it for a moment. Unless nobody has a clever idea of how to prevent this, we're out of luck. |
