Arthmoor Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 well Arthmoor said the mail is in html, so... Yes, and I discovered it the same way alt did and there's no preference in the software to tell it to send plain text. I don't like receiving HTML mail. Too many vectors for attacks that way. Maybe I should go squak at the support people too so they know there's more people who don't want that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt3rn1ty Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Yep, the law according to me with traditional email clients is a. Dont click links in emails - Even from friends who may also be clueless about what they are actually linking b. Dont trust attachments in emails - Again even from friends c. Dont trust friends emails - They may not be who they pretend to be, spoofed d. Dont allow any kind of plugins in your client software e. Dont allow return receipts tracking f. Dont allow any kind of code to run in emails - Plain text only g. Dont allow remote content to be pulled in realtime as you view the emails - Options - Privacy settings h. Always show email headers ( usually off by default ) i. For really important emails of a personal nature use GnuPG encryption and a different email address, or at least SSL up / down with a provider like GMX ( the latter is only of value if the person you communicate with also uses SSL up / down, but making a throw away GMX account is easy for anyone ) I realise all the above is the exception to the norm, most folk are brainwashed by the tyranny of default settings But companies using email should always expect that those settings are user choice and may actually be set. At the moment Bethesda.net is assuming everyone allows themselves to be potentially exploited by email bad practices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaultDuke Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Site is massively annoying imho. can't change any setting without also changing the password. Why? Annoying security question instead of proper 2-factor auth. Why? Saves current and old passwords in database (of course i tried to enter the old one twice). Why?

BlackPete Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Why? Wonder if it is because of Todd. But yeah, that doesn't sound too good. Let's hope they get the issues sorted out or else people are not going to want to bother with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmoor Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I already don't like it because they're expiring the login cookie too fast and the way the login screen works, the browser won't fill in the form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsanePlumber Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 ... the browser won't fill in the form. For me, this problem does not occur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmoor Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 On which browser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsanePlumber Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Firefox 44.0.2 x64 Windows 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaultDuke Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 For me on either IE or Edge, i need to click the form once, so the browser opens a drop down menu with the option there. Fills in the password when selecting the Login, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmoor Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Well that's annoying then. Guess I'll need to go poke the Pale Moon forums and see why it's not filling in the form despite having asked if I wanted to remember it for that site. Would help if they weren't expiring the cookie after 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsanePlumber Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 It works exactly as Gruftlord written. I misunderstood, I thought that the browser does not fill at all User and Pasword form. Arthmoor I apologize for misinformation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmoor Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Pale Moon doesn't have a drop down though. Where are you seeing this? And it's not filling anything for me, which is what I said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonardo Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 It works exactly as Gruftlord written. I misunderstood, I thought that the browser does not fill at all User and Pasword form. I too use the same browser as you, Firefox 44.0.2 (updated a couple of days ago). I can confirm that it does show a drop down list of information that's stored in Firefox, in my case the registered usename and my registered e-mail address. That drop down list appear if you type the first letter then you can pick from the drop down list, so in my case if I type "L" then both my username "Leonardo" and my e-mail address (leonardo@<site.***>) appeared in that drop down list. IIRC it depends how the server is configured and what settings the user have in the browser for cookies, but sometimes it also depends how forum software is configured.

Arthmoor Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Pale Moon has no such drop down menu though, and I think whatever is happening is a bug somewhere in their code since they are saying the browser should be ignoring the autocomplete flag the site is sending. It clearly is not though, because it isn't filling in the data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonardo Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Just curious. Has anyone tried to visit BSF the last hour or so? The reason I ask is that the forum seems to have a problem with the server or is it time for the new forum to be accessible. EDIT: Nevermind. I got the answer and it's the CloudFlare in Copenhangen that's a 504 error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmoor Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 The Los Angeles Cloudflare was out when I logged on around the same time but it came back about 20 minutes later. Thought maybe they were going live the hard way but I guess not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonardo Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Reposted from BSF It's happening now Right now, we're launching the private beta forums for Automatron's DLC Beta and also a General Discussion to get feedback on the new forums. It'll take some adjusting and we'll be moving the forums over slowly. http://community.bethesda.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaultDuke Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 uh, looks like it's barely working. login is severely borked. i'll try again tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmoor Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Oh god, it's worse than I thought it could be. This is just plain BAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonardo Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 When I logged in earlier today on the new forum (needed two e-mails before seeing the new forum) and read HD's forum guide I posted this at the official in response to what I think about the new forum. Later I posted this. Using Jive on Bethedsa.net is really a bad idea. Although, if I were force to choose between Jive and vBulletin I would gladly pick vBulletin as there is at least someting in common when it comes to a forum software in comparison to IPS.

fireundubh Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I'd prefer a forum that uses Markdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonardo Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 This is how the new forum looks like when viewing a thread (I'm not sure if they use the word "thread" at the new forum). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zilav Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 This is how the new forum looks like when viewing a thread (I'm not sure if they use the word "thread" at the new forum). Now I understand why they couldn't perform a simple operation of transferring accounts - they can't even create a basic forum themselves. That's plane horrible for such big company.
