tapcis.com software security patches

[davidh]

I don't know if tapcis.com forum software (vbulletin?) security patches are being applied regularly or not.

I'm guessing that if not so, it could expose forum users to some security risks.

For what it's worth, I am trying to post this message with javascript turned OFF in my Firefox browser NoScript extension. Mostly just as an academic "exercise" to see if it's possible. (I have javascript off by default for almost all sites except those I use everyday that need javascript to work at all.) I think that many exploits of vulnerabilities (of many kinds) often need javascript enabled to work, e.g. to launch (vulnerable) browser plugins (flash, etc.).
