Other than that nice site and idea!

It's not like he's making people pay for it, I don't really think the aesthetics are a big deal as long as it works.

A lot of people (like myself), like to store PMs a place where they can be read easily.
Therefore I made this site, so you do not have to view them in a bad way through Notepad or Excel!

To be honest, I don't think this will ignite. It is more safe to keep your private messages on the website they belong to, and it doesn't really make it any easier to view them.

edit: I see that you are encrypting private messages. I still don't think this makes reading PMs any easier. It's good as an archive, though. Is that what it's intended purpose is?

No, he is right. Sarcasm is another word for verbal irony, which is what it really is.

OT: Personally I think it IS easier to read than just opening it in Notepad like normal. And keeping PMs on-site isn't always an option, as PM boxes fill(especially for people who aren't upgraded).

Yes, you are right. My mistake 😉
I should have thought about it more.

Well we are a few people who disagree then! ;)

The purpose was to upload and store your archives, and then view them globally wherever you go. The messages will be even more secure than on HF.
Imagine if your VMP (ViewMyPM) account got hacked. The hacker would have to know the encryption key for your archives, and without it, it is worthless.

Can you have multiple keys for different inboxes (CSVs from different websites)?

That is what I would like to achieve. So far it is still in development, so a lot could change (such as better encryption).

Okay. Another thing I would like to point out is that I was not prompted to enter any encryption key. That leads me to believe that they are decrypted by the server.

Another issue: XSS. Look at this.

It has not been released, so there is no encryption system yet.

Hmm... I did do htmlspecialchars() and stripslashes()... Hmm.

Oh. That sucks.

Don't bother with stripslashes().
Just use htmlentities().
Tbh, most people will not use this simply because of how easy it is to take down. P.s I don't mean ddos.

Well yeah. I do not know. I did not create the backend stuff.

Any idea why XSS is possible then? 😧

Then what do you mean? Please elaborate.
Are the PMs encrypted on the server?

No, I did not create the back end stuff. 🤭 Probably just a small error.

Not yet. So unless somebody gets access to your account, your PMs will be safe.

Most likely. I hope so. Thanks for pointing out.

Do you mind sending me that code you used in a PM?
