      Lee, I assume that you already have seen the news about WordPress (again) exploits. link

      What intrigued me was that one of the exploits piggybacked on a visible user name and a bug that allowed all Forumites to become administrators without needing a password. Not sure how that can be handled in forums. Maybe we all need aliases to stop any future privilege escalation bugs!

        Cheers @edps I have the site nailed down as much as I can without affecting usabillity so it’s just a case of suck it and see. There’s no valuable info stored anyhow appart from an e-mail address. None the less the site needs to be updated as much as poss even if it leads to minor errors.
