I agree with the first poster, there is ZERO excuse. "Our sites are safe" is not enough, if I am logging in via HTTP my credentials are still being sent to the server in plain text.

A while back I submitted a few photos here and was rewarded with a laundry list of reasons why my photos were not absolutely perfect and were therefore unacceptable. Suppose we held the people who actually run the site to the same standard of perfection... wouldn't that be an interesting experiment?

We've been waiting literally years for simple emojis and quote functions. What makes you think they're ever going to implement something that secures user's data?
Its not going to happen folks.

I suppose you used to have another account as you have been waiting for years for emojis. Not sure what emojis you mean as the classic airliners.net emojis are all there, and have been for the last year and a half.
Quoting is phpbb standard, and we are looking into if it can be changed. However, there is a priority list, and there are some crew tools that reallly have higher priority than the quote function I’m afraid.
