As far as I know phpbb3 uses the phpass framework. MD5 has been considered insecure for many years now. Any site still using it might as well simply use plain text.

ah..search it by my email address The reason why you can't reset an account is because there is no e-mail attached to most accounts. So you want me to search by a non existing e-mail account? The e-mail for these accounts were already set Sniper and Walid, your e-mail adressess were changed and an e-mail should have been sent, if you do not receive it, let me know and i'll do a manual password reset.

I am unable to find a wiki user with that username

that account has a gmail address attached to it. A name and 5 numbers

If al you want to do is raise awareness of a bug then I have to agree. The bug tracker is not a forum and even on a forum people don't like bumping old posts for no real reason.

mail should have been sent

an e-mail has been sent

For years we have been using openid as a login system to our wiki. Most OpenID providers have been ending their support or have moved on to newer versions. While we are planning to integrate the new OpenID Connect to our wiki we are also offering users a chance to recover their exisiting accounts. When we implemented OpenID we did so without requiring another valid e-mail address. Because of this most users in our wiki are without e-mail account. Therefore using the lost password feature is not an option. In order to recover your account you can simply post a request in this thread. There are however some rules because we do not want account hijacking. - Nicknames have to have a certain match between them - Forum account has to be at least of similar age as wiki account or older We will add your forum e-mail address to the account and use the lost password feature. So once we confirm here that your account has been reactivated, check your e-mail (including spam folder).

community runs on a different box hosted with hetzner, not ovh. It had a small hardware failure and needed some repairs.

right, i'll have someone look into that

unable to reproduce

first off: assumption is the mother of all f*ckups. We don't use apache and therefore we don't have a .htaccess second: the /wiki/ subdir is something that mediawiki does by default. Blame them, not us. And why does it even bother you? Typing in wiki.mtasa.com in your browser takes you to our wiki. After that it's all just bookmarks and/or copy/paste.

But what was a great idea? The fact that we take the hit when someone wants to attack a server (and spent thousands of euros/dollars/pounds/...) on it, money we do not have as well as increase latancy for anyone anyway because they would have to proxy trough our servers? Or the fact that you can use a name instea of an IP (something that is perfectly possible: )?

Further more, i have been told by multiple people that when you type a domain name in the quick connect bar instead of an ip, the client will resolve the domain and connect. So the image in the OP is also wrong. It does work.
