Well if you wish to waste your life away trying to reverse iriversable encryption go ahead. Even if you do manage to crack it YOU CAN'T display it in the Admin CP and you would have to spend a few more years posibly decades runing the cracking algorithum on it.

LOOOOOL :cheeky: :cheeky: :cheeky:

now I understand where your name comes from.....

OK OK . that was Very encouraging NTLDR ....

In fact, that was as encouraging as booting your windows 2000 and getting this lovely message......


NTLDR ......


(for those who are not too much into computer tech, this means your computer does not recognize your hard disk as a boot partition, i.e., either you caught a serious boot virus, or that you simply lost your hard disk (and possibly all files on it) .....

THANK YOU NTLDR ...

that actually was a full answer.... LOL.

yeah if the option is only in the older verisons of vbulletin.. how can i down-grade my vbulletin to the older verison? I have good reasons so please dont give me ++++ about it. But I think this is a most for admins. Its just my opinion.. but again.. how can i down grade?

[Erwin]

You can't. vB no longer offers any copies of the old versions.

[king sting]

what? how come? so your telling me i paid for a software I dont have total control of? thats ++++ing bull++++ in my eyes... all these realeases and ++++ they wont give me a older verison? even after I already paid for it? what hell nah.. I think this feature needs to be put into the admin cp.. its our boards and we have to pay for the right to use vbulletin, how we run our boards is up to us, not the software heads at vbulletin.

I ++++ing demand something is done about this.

[g-force2k2]

with that kind of attitude no one is going to do anything about it... like i said its privacy invasion... you want an older version? it probably wont' even work anymore... so in otherwords settle down... demand eh? you ain't getting nothing from me...

It has already been proved impossible...

Whether you like it or not, vB will not change their policy, and I agree with g-force...

There is *never* a good reason for needing somones password, you can send members a new one and you can check if passwords are the same by comparing the MD5 hashes. Also why would Jelsoft provide old unstable and insecure versions of vB to the public?

I may want Windows 1.01, but Microsoft wouldn't supply me with a copy even if I paid.

Tip: Save each origional zip and store on your computer. Then you can use whatever version you want on your live board.

come on, you need to understand that the encryption of the password is for
the security of your people, members of your boards. It is not an
out-of-the-cough decision by some heads at jelsoft... it is a thoughtful
idea about the security of your board.
