I have hundreds and hundreds of websites built over the last 3+ years. I have no idea where we have used incoming form variables to override text and math variables. I can't upgrade to Webcatalog 4.0 on a site by site basis as I check to see what is broken by the new security feature.Should I just take a chance and risk upsetting clients as they discover that the solutions we built for them no longer work..... Hmmm.I'll bet that most people will not a have a problem with this. And some will have a minor problem with this. But your oldest, truest and most active customers who have developed a wide array of solutions with your product could be made to spend hundreds of hours pouring over old code or risk losing the faith and confidence of their customers.Now, I'm convinced that I'll need to use the secret preference to be assured that old sites will continue to function properly. How big of security problem is this if I turn OFF the new default setting?Thanks, Paul _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/|\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ _/_/_/Paul Uttermohlen, Interactive Ink, Inc._\_\_ \_\_\_\_ _/_/_/ mailto:paul@ims1.com - Website Development \_\_\_\_ _/_/_/ Business -
