An interesting vBulletin feature...

Be on the lookout for anyone who starts a thread like this... I got hit with it on my forum yesterday- they will say something like:

Quote:

Did you know vBulletin will censor out your password if you try to post it: *******

And inevitably people try it...

and of course their password does not get censored...

Do not fall for this!

(My first thread on this was deleted for being too easy for someone to fall for it. ;))

That is because vb uses the asterisk as default censor character, which is the same with the password box. Users get confused, I think. So someone trying to get another user's password will try to trick them.

Do you have a better suggestion for a censor character?
