Default Passwords Exposed

Hey everybody -

Your password on the old forum for CoreSpeed3d.com were not secure.  The admin could see any password for any user that he wanted.  That was VERY not cool.

I am not sure if this bulletin board is more secure but I still do not trust anyone who would use something so not secure, wether they used it for evil or not.  Just having that security flaw scares me.

Any admin, please feel free to respond.  (OK D.)

Yabb automatically stores the passwords in an encrypted format in a data file.
