It’s Halloween today, which means I’m busy gorging on the chocolate we are suppoused to be giving out [those Twix are so delicious].
With user accounts as hundreds of sites (I’m sure we can all attest to that) – ‘forgot password’ is a process I go through again. So – pick on Compete again – email addresses are easy to get to. If I put in my email address – you shouldn’t reset the password immediately. You should make sure it is the right user by sending a ‘click this link’ request to that email.
Simple usability stuff like this boggles my mind. I know Aaron likes Compete – time to reset his password ceaselessly
[I'm kidding, don't actually screw with other people's passwords. Just a dumb move by Compete]
I had also promised some stats on releasing freebie themes – that is delayed until next week (we have a decent-sized announcement tomorrow).
