Hi everyone!

I'm usually not the type of person to make announcements for small changes, but this time it's actually important:

I've been doing some work behind the scenes and I NEED YOU TO LOG IN AGAIN!

So why do I need you to do that? Did we get hacked?

We didn't!! (: The reason is that I've changed the hashing algorithm for passwords from mybb's default (which is REALLY bad and insecure) to a new one, bcrypt - which is industry standard.

What does this mean? This means that your passwords (upon re-entering them) will be stored in way that makes it MUCH harder (if not impossible) for hackers to crack.

So even if our database gets leaked at some point, hackers won't get access to your password.

Down below I'll attach a list of how long it would take a hacker to crack your password, so please make sure it's long and secure - if you feel like it's not secure enough you can change it here: https://vortexmarket.cc/usercp.php?action=password

(Unrelated, but I've also changed the profiles and postbits to use the username styling on the user title - thanks @Enjuu for helping me with that!)

So please log out and back in! Thank you!
