A simple solution for those who want widescreen viewing: On Windows OS in ANY browser (as far as I know and I have 5 browsers that I use) hold the Control key and tap the + and/or - keys until you reach the desired size. To resize to default simply hold Control key and tap the '0' on the top of the keyboard..

In response to Losschabossdragon, "the security of alphanumeric and lower and upper cases" think of it this way; if all passwords were 8 characters and you use numbers only my home pc could crack that in milliseconds (there's a maximum of 10 possibilities per character 0-9) with a total possible 1,073,741,824 combinations. Now add lower case letters = 36 possibilities (0-9 + a-z). Add upper case = 62 possibilities. Add 10 unique characters = 72. That does not mean it will take 7.2 times longer to crack. That's just one character! It has to guess the correct combination of characters. The possible combinations =1.0531229166855719e+65 (e65 means x10 with an exponent of 65) or 10,531,229,166,855,719,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 A lottery ticket has far fewer possible combinations.

As an IT specialist (CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+ and CCNA certifications) I must say I'm impressed with the way you've handled this. MANY large corporations (Sony comes instantly to mind) have held a more nonchalant attitude toward network security and look where it leads. In my field the first thing we're taught is that companies will try to save money anywhere they can and the first place will be security... UNTIL THEY'RE BREACHED. What happens then is in direct relation to: a) Value of data stolen b) Cost to prevent a recurrence c) Odds of a recurrence without further security measures d) Publicity of the breach Most of us (myself included) are guilty of easy to remember passwords. I don't have any vital data on this site but will be changing mine now. For those interested, Microsoft has a great rule of thumb for creating passwords: 1) Minimum 8 characters 2) Must be alphanumeric (numbers AND letters) 3) Must use both upper and lower case (capital and small letters) 4) Must include at least one special character (!@#$%^&*) DO NOT: -use names or words that can be found in the dictionary -use team names, player names or pet names -use your birth date as part of the password If all of the above is followed it would take a botnet of hundreds of computers several YEARS to crack your password. Choose to ignore ANY of the above and it could (potentially) be cracked in seconds. Sorry for the long post.

"I really hate when modders name their mod different from the esp" AMEN TO THAT! I had to Google 'KamiTH.esp' to get here. I wish Nexus would make it a rule that if you put a mod on the site it has to have the same name. At the very least it should have the same first word for an easy alphabetic perusal.
