I don't really think this is the kind of thing that belongs on DNK...

http://www.codeplex.com/TeamReview is nice and I had not yet heard of it. Thanks Maarten!

Aye, weird stuff indeed.

There is a work item in the Issue Tracker now requesting that they reevaluate this:
http://www.codeplex.com/blogengine/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=5726

Here is an older work item which was rejected where Mads states, "This has been suggested a few times before and the answer is the same. People don't want it. A few do, but we've had many e-mails when we did hash passwords for the first release."
http://www.codeplex.com/blogengine/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=3536

Hopefully this latest debacle will illustrate that even if "people don't want it", it should at the very least be an option to prevent this kind of disaster. I'm all for will of the people and all, but seriously, lets sit down and talk to whoever doesn't want their passwords hashed and explain some things to them. =)

Good question...

Haha, no, thats an entirely new definition I was unfamiliar with.

WTB = "want to buy" (used most often in multiplayer games like Diablo and World of Warcraft)

ie: I want the ability to give this an anti-kick so badly, I'd pay for it! ;)

wtb negative kicks

Its not nearly as widely used as Gravatar so that isn't surprising, but is imho a much better option...

nkirkes, if you liked the MVC Membership Starter Kit, make sure you check out my latest post as we just released a new version a few hours after Scott's post:

standarD... with a D. I'm an idiot

Sigh... time for pavatar to become the defacto standar finally?

Fix for a security hole in the posted code:

I have updated the article and it's code to provide a new filter which will redirect to a controller action rather than a hardcoded url, in case that appeals more to some of you.

Updated to include the zero-parameter Func scenario after I had a bit of trouble figuring it out myself a few minutes ago. :-)

Awesome, nice find!

I also thought the beta was nice and simple. I've yet to see anything in it that would make me consider switching away from BlogEngine.net though. And $399 for the pro version? I understand that the good things in life are free, but so far I don't think Telligent has done a very good job of illustrating where their <strike>blogware</strike> CMS adds that kind of value over the existing products in the market.

That's a good point. Hopefully it isn't too difficult to change the way the Inherits attribute works. If it affects backwards compatability though, we're probably looking at a .Net 4.0 change at best...
