very nice, but i'd hardly call it encryption...

Obviously, the more levels of encryption you use the harder it will be for unwanted parties to "crack the code" and read your encoded messages.
Incorrect i'm affraid. Your encryption technique functions (i think its refered to) as a group function. In other words for any two keys used one after the other there exists another key that does the encryption in one go.

eg if i was to use 1 followed by 1 its equivilent to me having just used 2 once.

Very nice hack. I would use it if I wasnt afraid of my members using it in their posts.
Don't get under any illusions, this ISN'T very strong. There are infact only 26 possible different keys. 27 is the same as using 1 If you are worried about your members using it, do the following to read what they are saying:

Put the text into the box, set the key as 1 hit decode, see if its readable if not hit decode again, do this untill you get a message out.

I'd say this is a great hack for luring your members into a false sense of security... Then finding out what they REALLY think about you

Sorry if this comes over as a little bit harsh, but i'm fairly compatent when it comes to encryption/decryption theory... There are far better ways you can provide encyption, i've got a php script that does a bit of encryption, only prob is it dosnt' decrypt it very well at all... maybe i should work on that some more and turn it into a vb hack if people woulld be interested...
