an idea for your next version

just an idea for your next version, lower your length of your answer input field, no reason it should be 255 max. most people post questions that the answers are either numbers or one (maybe two) word answers not sentences so theres no reason to have 255 in max length, that extra space just gives a hacker room to try injection on the field.

also would be nice to have a switch for type of answer, text or number, if it is number then make the field an integer field only and dont accept any other input and limit the size to appropriate maybe 2 or three max length is all we need and reduce size also. If it is text field then limit the text to a decent size, make sure we are escaping this field.


I really do love this mod, its works great for me, i did tweek my field lengths a bit, i have a two digit answer and theres no reason to have all that extra space, but im so glad you did this mod.. nice work by the way.... peace

I doubt there will be an update anytime, since there is a Q&A plugin part of stadard phpBB Captcha system since phpBB 3.0.6 which has more functionality than this mod, so this mod is not needed anymore.

thanks for the feedback, i had no clue that was there, nice work phpbb. although i will keep this mod because i run both this mod and the captcha image, thats the only downside to the phpbb integrated version, you can only run one or the other not both... i personally think its better with both... thanks so much, i learn something new everyday about phpbb, again nice work..
