@user Infinite Rain: a very bad idea if you consider that the average user age is surely far below 18.
+ pornographic contents are not allowed by my vserver hoster. I would have to move to a hoster who allows porn and I'm surely not going to do that (because of the average user age and because this is not a porn page).

ah so that's why you enforce this rule, you run the risk of having your server revoked

My idea: Editing profile information without having to type your password!

wait...you're saying that without that password I could potentially do this?

</form>

Regardless, I thought the script first checks if you're logged in and the IDs match.

lol, no of course not. I was talking about idiots giving their PHP session IDs to others (in case cookies fail and the session ID is stored in the URL with a GET variable)

Since we're on the topic of "ideas" here's an idea for you.

On the server, sessions should also be associated with the IP of the client.

So if a cookie were stolen the "hacker" could not use the session because their ip differs from the user.

You can still have multiple logins from the same IP, it just means that these session ids will only work for the IP that authenticated.

That's pretty bad. For most users the IP changes every day / two days. At least in Germany and USA. Almost nobody here has a static IP. So you would have to login every day again...

Still think that's better than

That happens when users don't accept cookies?

Edit: I'm unsure of your situation, but for me it's like this; your isp will not change your ip while your router is running. If it did then you might be disconnected while doing something important.

So do you turn off your router at night? Yeah! Save power √

No, I don't shut down my router. But there is something called 24-hour-reconnect. You get reconnected every 24 Hours, most of the time you get a new IP too.

@user Apache uwu: I already did that years ago. result: tons of complaints from people who were not able to stay logged in because their IP changed all the time.
the problem is not very big anyway. I didn't hear about anyone running into problems with it lately so nothing will be changed. the additional password input will stay where it is anyway.

Idea:
Auto lock topics, where last reply is over 6 month old. This will stop majority of senseless revivals of old topics. IF a person wants to revive particular topic, he/she should write a pm to a moderator or admin.

you are not a mod or admin so you don't know how annoying that would be.
it's actually much better the way it currently is. you have to enter a captcha and see a big warning message that the thread is old. pretty damn perfect. if anybody posts shit in such a thread anyway: epic ban hammer!

So, if everyone would be 18+, and your server hoster would allow porn, would you allow porn? Lol

Cool idea,addition to DC's one.

What about adding each thread a 2 week "opening",if nobody will reply in 2 weeks,its auto-closes. And,it can be opened only by the creator of thread,of course if he wants. (And by moderators/DC.)

Lulwut,Navy Seal already wrote it. Rofl.

Nah,what about making the "Arrow" ( > ) red,when the thread is auto-closed?

I would like to suggest a possibility of notification on the main US site about changes in the articles on the wiki that the user has recently changed/followed/created/whatever.
Just some form of green box should do it (like the notification box for new messages).
Not sure if such a thing is possible, but that would be great.

something like how I would picture it >
