At any company, the webmaster would have already been fired. This is a simple issue which should have been fixed when it was introduced. It makes me wonder where the donation money is actually spent, and what horrible security problems might lurk in this site.
Hear, hear.
I've also become deeply concerned about what's taking so long to fix a problem that most IT pros on the site agree is a very simple fix.
There's a partner in the business whose chief responsibility is maintaining the site, programming, hardware, etc. For those of us who love this place, it's just a tad alarming to realize that he's (for whatever reason) not getting it done.
Makes you wonder what else he might be leaving unattended. It's definitely a worry.
