Gfy(lite) A Solution to the search feature.

It seems strange that gfy cannot keep its search feature working very long. The board is huge and it obviously uses alot of resources to keep it backed up, but i think it should be easier once you upgrade the script, ( and im not sure what is holding you back )

With the enormous amount of webmasters on this board, im sure someone can help gfy get things fixed.

I have created a simple app that checks gfy on a timer for the latest 50 threads. It displays the top 50 threads in a small window. You can set triggers for certain words you may wish to track in a thread title. When it detects a thread to be tracked it pops up a window with an internal browser to view and respond to the thread.

Very usefull for going to sleep and waking up to find your tracked threads waiting for you to respond.

When i initially made this program i added alot of features that i have since disabled , due to the negative effect it could have on gfy.

--- An Autoresponder for threads ( this could be abused )
--- Tracking by post not just by thread title ( this uses up mega gfy resources , but im working on a simpler version )
--- A login structure ( not sure if lens would like this or if many would trust this )

I dont want to release this program if gfy is completely opposed to the idea, or if gfy plans to upgrade anytime in the near future..

Any other features that you would like to see, please respond.

Some important notes...

GFY LOGIN SCRIPT IS UNSECURE !!!
GFY PROFILES ARE UNSECURE !!!

When running a program i designed to check my own board for vulnerable passwords, i found THOUSANDS of vulnerable passwords on gfy.

Because i dont have access to the gfy admin account ( cough cough ) it is not capable of informing users by email to change their passwords. But if lens ( or another gfy employee ) would simply run this program you could save yourself some future problems...
