Just FYI, new Delphi community forums recently started leaking email addresses in "Who is online". Beware if you are using email as your login.

  2. The "new" community (it is an upgrade of the open libraries it is based upon), online since few days ago, has a specific "Display Name" field so we'll probably migrate all "visible names" to that new field. might take a few days, though.

  3. Now you could wish the community forums to be like the discussion forums are most of the time :)

  4. They need to fix the HTTPS grade F first, then make sure both servers support https, then ensure password based login is always done over https (now it's over plain http leaking your credentials): https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=community.embarcadero.com

  5. Marco Cantù emails are still leaking...
    Also it looks like Who is online is broken - currently it shows 132648 guests and 695 members online and numbers are continuously increasing. It shows me as online even when I am not logged in (going to that page from browser I never used for logging). Seems like users are added to the list but not cleared.

  6. They are redoing that section of the site. there will be a display name anyone can choose (and by default wont' have the email).
