However if only a one-time or even lets say for example it happened twice it's still rare and therefor does not constitute a "weekly basis" as that would be ongoing as that's what "weekly basis" relates to in meaning respectively.

Clearly you dont.

A weekly basis means something happens [once] every week.

I never said they did.. But it's a lot more welcoming and actually pleasant to use since they upgraded.
Anyone who considers XF an upgrade from VB3 needs to see a psycologist.

As it turns out, they appear to be having problems with custom code they had with VB3 and getting it to work with XF. They are also having to implement things that Howard said they never would in order to attract and keep posters, since changing to XF, after the initial surge the daily post count has dropped significantly, partly due to posters not liking the change, and partly due to every thread digressing into bashing VB and IB.

Something such ridiculous I have seen only with vB. Not even the free scripts have had this kind of issue with security.

Was it the case for the previous three weeks ?

Will it be the case for the next three weeks ? (I certainly hope not).

If an issue is found, its fixed and patched. Sorry you don't seem to like that.

The attachment issue is obscure at best, Its unlikely anyone would have noticed it unless they went hunting for attachment ids, but however small, it is still a potential issue, so was fixed.

I dont suppose they have the same kind of issue vB has with endless trolling either, lucky them.

Every major software vendor has security issues, how they react to them is important. When we find an issue or it gets reported to us we verify it and get it out the door ASAP.

All Major forum software has had issues, as long as humans are programing programings there will be issues. Sometimes its because of the language, sometimes its human error. But if you think other scripts are free from errors you're mistaken.

I'd far rather my software vendor was upfront about issues of this nature, rather than hiding, denying, saying nothing, until they have no choice (assuming they admit it at all).

There are many examples of the latter. the software I used prior to vBulletin was notorious for it. Defunct now, thankfully.

I completely agree that the majority of forum softwares have had security issues, except xenforo btw. As there has been none with it till now.

However, the thing is that none of them has had the security issues with the frequency of vb 5. One each week for the past 3 weeks. This is what I was talking about, and not why it has had security issues, but the alarming rate of them.
