Salt System....

[feras007]

Dear Users,

Actually I am a new user for vbulletin ,briefly i programmed a small forum 2 years ago and now I want to buy VB version but the problem is the passwords ! because i heard that VB forums use MD5 + salt system to encrypt the passwords , so I want to know how does the salt system work if i want to put it in my current forum and make the members change their passwords before converting to VB , any issues?

Best Regards

It depends how your forum hashed the passwords. So how did it hash them?

Thank you for your reply,Actually I am using Md5 system !

If you are using a straight md5, ie md5($password) you can convert passwords to vbulletin easily.
