yea, I got a comment:

YOU ARE SAYING THAT THERE WAS A WAY FOR A PERSON TO TAKE OVER MY ACCOUNT JUST BY POSTING SOMTHING?  :burnup:  :rant:
UHHHHHH......

How about NO!

They would have had to decipher the information in a specific cookie, left on the server by one of your posts, to find your password.
Then they could log in as you and change it.

All your posts have to contain a cookie or the board wouldn't allow them to be registered as coming from your ID.

Apparently it used to be possible for other users to see this cookie. Now they can't.
There are 10 kinds of people in the world
Those who understand binary.
and those who don't
