This mod would be alot more functional if it did something similar to verisign. For example, say you go to videogamedepot.com (not my site, I am just using it as an example), there's a verisign logo on the bottom left. You click the button and get a pop up with security information about that site. For example:

WWW.VIDEOGAMEDEPOT.COM is a
VeriSign Secure Site

Security remains the primary concern of on-line consumers. The VeriSign Secure Site Program allows you to learn more about web sites you visit before you submit any confidential information. Please verify that the information below is consistent with the site you are visiting.

Name WWW.VIDEOGAMEDEPOT.COM
Status Expired
Validity Period 07-APR-03 - 09-APR-05
Server ID
Information Country = US
State = Iowa
Locality = Cedar Rapids
Organization = Cart-Mart Inc.
Organizational Unit = VGD Web SalesTerms of use at www.verisign.com/rpa (c)00
Organizational Unit = Terms of use at www.verisign.com/rpa (c)01
Common Name = www.videogamedepot.com

If the information is correct, you may submit sensitive data (e.g., credit card numbers) to this site with the assurance that:

* This site has a VeriSign Secure Server ID.
* VeriSign has verified the organizational name and that CART-MART INC. has the proof of right to use it.
* This site legitimately runs under the auspices of CART-MART INC..
* All information sent to this site, if in an SSL session, is encrypted, protecting against disclosure to third parties.

So we have learned that videogamedepot.com has had its verisign status expire in April of 2005.

If this mod somehow linked back to vbulletin.com and queried tho server to find out if the forum id and url matched up against the record at vbulletin a user could very quickly figure out if the board was legit or not.

That would be much more useful.
