Trade + Profile feedback.
 

So, pretty much I just noticed the trade does not ask for your password, and my friend pointed out that your profile displays how much gold your account has.

Both of these things make me VERY uneasy.
I understand the site is new, hackings are gunna be super duper rare but I would feel a lot safer if these two things were fixed.
Like let's say someone went to your profile, saw your gold.
Was all 'wow they have a lot'.
then you're on at school or something, leave the computer for a bit.
They go 'Homg this is the person with all that gold.'
They can trade it all to their account without even needing your password. =/

True that not having a password-need in kinda uneasy. Then again, having a password-requirement wouldn't make any difference (beside delaying the hack process). I mean, if they can hack into your account (first they have to LOG into your account), they already have the password. So even with the password-secure trades, they can still copy&paste your password in.

Yes but what about if you leave the window up at school or something?
Then they didn't log in, they don't know it and they can STILL get your stuff.

I've been hacked on Gaia before where i logged on during the hacking and was able to report it directly to a mod and have it stopped because the passwords slowed them down enough.

They are still working on the profiles right now but, I do agree about the password thing

but shouldn't you have posted your Feedback in the Suggestions and Feedback thread? ^^,

I couldn't find it. ;A;

I'll go ask a mod to move my thread.

Here

:3 there ya go

it'll prolly be noticed more there ^-^

Thank you very much. ^^

This thread is fine where it is.

We'll take the suggestion under consideration, but best practices in account management will do much more for protecting your stuff than an extra password prompt would. Don't mark "Remember Me" on computers that can be used by other people. Log out and close all browser windows after using such a computer. Don't tell anyone your password, and don't use the same password for multiple sites.

In general the extra password prompt is more of a hassle than it's worth. It gains very little security, only time -- it only protects you in the event that you don't follow best practices, and if you've been ACTUALLY hacked it only slows the attacker down by a few seconds -- and it adds extra steps to the trade system, which makes it less friendly to use.

Welcomes :3 glad I could help some ^-^

What about the current au amount displayed on the profile, is there any way to disable that?

That section seemed to get skipped in any mentionings. .x.

i play an mmorpg where you have to put a pin(like a keycard) to get into your storage and thats actually saved me once from a keylogger getting into there, which saved me from losing all my money and godly gears. I think maybe just a 4 digit pin would be great and it isnt too inconvinient for people to put in.

Its prolly because soon those profiles are gonna go away to a new version xD those are the sites Basic Profile pages :3 coda is making us a super cool profile layout! =D

I can see your point but just..iunno it really irks me.
But that's just me. xD;

Inari; Ooh, neat, that's cool then.
Goooo Coda. c: /cheers on

yeah i dont like people seeing how much money i have either

I don't really mind, 'cause for now I'm new and will be buying stuff.

If there will be the "password" security for trade, unless the password is something that is NOT your account's password, I think it's pretty much useless. (._.)

I agree with Tori..

It should be like Neopets system...with a PIN code.. 4 digit numbers only for extra protection in high important areas. Else it's completely pointless

As long as there is SOMETHING, I will feel so much better.

Devlyn's totally going to put his year of birth.

No, that was my bank card. >x>
I'll put yours.

Pretty sure our year is the same.
<<;

I can do month and day, silly.

You two better not go post in the "how old are you" threads or I'mma know your PIN numbers. ;)

And yes, the profile page is going to get a major overhaul so I'm trying not to screw with it before I'm ready to do it the right way.

Oh noes, Coda's gonna hax us. ;o;

Do you have an ETA on when that might be?
No pressure or rush or anything, I just like to know everything. oxo

Haha, true. xD

I find it neat that we get to talk to the actual coder.
Usually sites are so busy that the coders don't have time to say hi.
[/pfftopic]

I have a tentative ETA on my to-do list but it's not something I'm going to announce until it's done. Users have this tendency to get itchy and annoying when I miss an ETA, like it was a concrete deadline instead of a rough estimate.

Psh that's silly of them.
But alright then, that makes sense.
When you get to it you do. c:

Also, that's like believing the ETAs on pretty much any downloads. >>

its not such a great idea to use your birthdate as a pin code seeing as thats the first combinations people try

We were joking. x:

I wasn't about my bank card though. xD

oh lol, that ruins all my crafty money stealing plans :P

Oh noes again!
You and coda are both going to hack us.
/shuffles into escape pod/

And he leaves behind, >>;

..D: No.
I was holding the door for you, silly.

Thank you. ;w;
-Hurries in.-

/blasts off/ :'D

Weeeee. nwn

I have never been bothered by the aurum count thing, I used to play on site where it was visible under you avvie after all, but yes, when we get new profiles, the aurum won't be visible anymore. And I agree that I would be ticked off by entering the password for each trade. I mean, they are long for most people. Dx
