never heard of it. what is it for? phpbb is very secure just like it is.PrinceWords wrote:hi everyone
well, I'm using this since a year or more, OpenInviter which is free and open source inviter and has a mod for phpbb3 which I'm using, and well I like it with no problems.
But just got the thought today to discuss with you who tried it or actually use it? what you think about its security? is the privacy of forum users who use it very safe? I don't ask from the program point of view, I may go their site if i want to, I just ask for php programmers view? and from forum admins view too?
awaiting for your opinions

What is this product supposed to do?
Facebook asks you for your Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc. passwords. This is doing the same thing Facebook is doing.lurttinen wrote:Looks like this inviter is doing the very thing facebook and all is telling you not to do.
Do not share your login information with anyone. Basically, site A is asking login information to site B and using that information to log into your account and fetching contact information for your friends.
While an admin might like this feature to invite more users to their website. It is the one most stupid thing your users can do.
Give out their login information to a third party website.
If i ever caught my friend doing such thing he will be kicked off from my buddy list faster than they can spell a "cat".
