// Phpbb does not store passwords in plaintext. But is sends plaintext password just after registering. Rest of problems I described are still actual. Anyway, as we can see, at least one admin saw this thread and knows what I (and other formuers) have to say ;) For me that is enough. Staff will deci...

For example: Did You know, that this **** phpbb stores AND sends via e-mail plaintext password ? Modern boards store only MD5 hash of our passwords. My provider CERTAINLY uses a sniffer application. So he already knows my password. Also, if somebody breaks into the forum, he could just read admin pa...

Technical: Maybe change forum engine ?

Phpbb is old and buggy. It lacks of features. Maybe switch to another engine ? I use so far (as an administrator): 1) IPB (best, not free), 2) Unclassified NewsBoard (GPL, free, not best one) and 3) SMF (free, not GPL, very good, but IPB is slightly better). I think SMF 1.1 will be best choice, beca...

So i686 + MMX :-) And remember - I propose releasing SSE2 version together with, not instead of, Vanilla one. But this vanilla version should be i686+MMX version or i585+MMX (C1-C3 do not have CMOV (Conditional Move) command IIRC and these processors are not 686) - not plain i386. Result of Googling...

AFAIK SSE1,2,3 boost flotaing point (and maybe integer too) operation speed.

I repeat - i686 for sure and SSE1 probably can be used already, because people with non-compatible machines will not run TA Spring at all !

About SSE2/SSE3 compilation - I mean OPTIONAL version. There are three possibilities: 1) The same version supports both i386 and SSE2 2) Installer contains two file sets - one for i386 one for SSE2 3) There are two installers - two versions for download. BTW. I think, that supporting 386,486,586 is ...

HELP:Lack of Hyper-Threading support in official version ;-(

Well, I have P4 2.8HT Prescott and WinXP. TA Spring uses only one virtual CPU. So I "have" only P4 ~1.4GHz for TA SPring. Total CPU usage is ~50%. Of course I could diasble HT, but most of my programs use HT happily. 1. Is this a code or compilation fault ? 2. Can anybody help with this ? ...
