Hello Fellow Pretome users,

In the near future you will notice a very big change to the login page. It will help provide more security for our users https://preto.me/pic/smilies/smile1.gif You will know it when you go to the login page and there is nowhere to login! There will be a "Search" box where you can simply search for anything like you would do on Google. However, if you enter an active site nick, you will also get a box to enter your password!

This will not change the functionality of the site, however, just provide some always nice to have security in our growing community https://preto.me/pic/smilies/smile1.gif If you experience any issues, please contact staff in IRC in our #help channel, staffbox, or forums.

so dont worry next time you have to login and find strange page.

For members, further instructions should have been sent to whatever email they have for you.

I'm not a huge fan of sites who's login system is done this way. Oh well, all in the name of security.

This thread defeats the purpose of this feature.

It'd probably have been a bit more effective if they had implemented this from the very beginning.

pardon my ignorance but what exactly is "active site nick" ?!
My pretome username? pretome URL?

Your username.

hmmm.... seems like a good way to offer members more "protection" if thats what u can call it
