Welp, it's that time of the year where we get to complain about various things on the site that need to be fixed, only for LA to ignore us and let the forums die just a little bit more. Here we go!
List of incomplete tasks:
- Fix time zone issues. Right now, I have to set my time zone for GMT+10 in order to get GMT-6. Plus, the timestamps are actually off by 20 minutes. I propose we use the same time as any of the USNO NTP servers: http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/NTP/ (America says "You're Welcome", Canada.)
- Proper SSL support. I don't really care about the certificates being signed by a CA, but right now, if you go to https://loveforum.net, the site is an honest-to-god shithole. None of the JS assets load; the chatbox doesn't work, etc. Every time someone signs into the site, they're submitting a weak MD5 hash of their password to the server. It's nobody on my network's business what forums I choose to incessantly harass. This could end up actually being a pretty bad security breach if you're at a coffeeshop; sometimes I will sit around and just let a packet monitoring program sit in my terminal, dumping everyone's packets. SSL'ing your website puts a stop this because I'm not the NSA.
- Longer session/cookie expiration times. Bet you $20 that after I finish writing this thread, I'm gonna have to log in again.
Keeping the list short for now. Each of these items should only take 5-10 minutes to fix. Will cross them out as they get completed.
