Running a website

what do you hate about it?


I hate the amount of passwords you need to have, how do you keep track of all your passwords?

when stuff doesnt go how you want it to and then spend ages trying to fix it when its actually something really simple

Hmm. The part I hate most is having different browsers render a page different ways. Especially for HxF where there are such a large range of people and browsers it becomes incredibly frustrating - especially when the bugs aren't my fault are are something thats apparent on the vB default skin (more often in IE7 than not)

I don't struggle with passwords, I note down ones I can't remember and my memory is good for most anyway. I keep track using Opera's password manager which comes in very handy for convenience - though I often have to resort to the txt file :P.

Don't need loads of passwords if you're running a website. I've just got my root password and an admin password. Firefox remembers my passwords anyway.

Can't say there's much I particularly hate really.

As for password, use KeePass: http://keepass.info/

I only need to remember my VPS control panel, VPS root and my main website account, not that many to remember!!

It's not hard to remember passwords? I've got like 7 different passwords and I remember them all fine. God help me if I have a stroke ;l

Mainly all the hack threats and things like that. Another thing is the security of our staff. If one manager gets hacked due to a poor password then it puts all the staff and visitors are risk.

I could only dream of remembering all the passwords related to my account on Habbox. A password for my forum account, a password for my website account and admin account on the website, a password for HxF assets, and directory passwords for most of those and admin / modcp on the forum too. They're all a long string of random characters too and there are more. It would be impossible! So it is annoying. I keep a note of them on my phone anyway.

From my point of view, being involved in managing Habbox, it's the constant complaining - often for pointless things. People often want to complain just to cause trouble but you still have to try and calmly reply as professionally as possible and that can get frustrating.

Maybe it's just me, but I have no problems remembering long strings of uppercase/lowercase/punctuation/numbers :P It's gotten to the point where I can tell someone my password (speaking obv.) and they can't remember past the 4th character ;D
