Okay, since properly changing everything over to using COM_applyFilter
takes a lot longer than expected and since kses looks really promising,
I'm opting for a 1.3.8-1sr1 release tomorrow that would include

- kses, thus hopefully addressing all HTML / CSS / Javascript injection
scenarios once and for all
- the "don't show SQL errors in the browser" patch for the database class
- (not security-related) a fix to lib-sessions.php for when the cookie
domain is not set and the URL includes a port number
- and, possibly, a fix for an issue I seem to have found in
usersettings.php (need to double-check that first - more details then)

That would not address the issue when you're running MySQL 4.1, but I
guess we can ignore that for now (but include a warning). 1.3.9rc1, which
will address this, shouldn't be too far away ...

bye, Dirk

I just got back from my vacation and saw this thread.  I would *love*  
this feature.  For my needs I'd want to see a paginated output of  
people that have not logged in past X date and some options beside  
their listing like:

- delete account
- send member reminder of their account with link to page so they can  
delete or update the account (I see many people creating new accounts  
when they forget they have one or can't figure out how to get new pass  
info)
- place account on hold (IE, some people are assess and what I do to  
them is change their username but keep the account running, prevents  
them from using the same email... :)

I guess a lot of people would like to see a lot of very different options
for this. Now that the date of the last login is collected, why not write
a plugin that does it?

I agree that we need some improvements in the membership management, but
for experimenting which features actually make sense, a plugin would be
the best place, IMO. Once a certain set of features has been accepted, we
can still integrate it into Geeklog's core code.

bye, Dirk
