[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 939144, member: 7463"] Regarding extensions, it is important to know that the original coder of a well known extension could sell the rights to that extension to someone else who may not be as upright as was the original author. It could then be maliciously re-coded and dished out as an IMPORTANT UPDATE (I normally would give an example at this point, but sadly I have misplaced my old notes). Anyway, Best Practice is to use as few extensions as possible, make sure those that are installed have a long track record of being benign, and understand that any updates to them should be viewed as totally new and untrusted.
