Salting passwords changes first the password and then second the hash. :? It's easier to forget a salted password. ;) The password is salted after the user enters it in, every time. It's designed to prevent attacks by rainbow tables. You don't have to remember the salted password since it's done by...

Salted passwords area a nice idea on the first look. But IMO it's not possible in real life to make the password salty enough. Users and/or administratos will be annoyed by it! (My job is IT administrator in a 200 clients company. ;) ) So IMO this feature is not really a good security feature. Salt...

And as I always point out, users should be able to use the full functionality of phpBB without JavaScript, ie. options that are normally "hidden" are revealed, even if this means a slightly more cluttered layout. -1 for 4.0.

You could add some nice features like, tooltip, popup login, I don't know just make it look professional. ToolTips can be achieved by using title="".

@/a3, it may not make a big difference, but its better than what we currently have. I think You are right and Google does read the filename too. If you werent aware, all the current images inside the [img] tag (besides the smilies which dont have any alt set) are using "Image" as an alt text. I was...

Website profiles, definitely yes. Signatures, I think so as well. Posts: definitely not! It's not that phpBB.com doesn't endorse those links, it's whether the link is relevant to the post content or not. Hopefully, if the moderators are doing their job properly, that should be the case. So I definit...

Better than loading the language file that says "Image", just not to let the alt empty. Arty explained a bit better than i did on the first page. I don't think putting file names in alt text would even make a difference. Google possibly already uses filenames to get more information about your imag...

it reads the images and from their name it sets the alt. What's the point in that? Many screen readers would read that bit anyway. When encountering images that are missing an alt attribute, screen readers may provide what information they extract from the page content (such as file name or dimensi...
