GDPR laws/feature

[TechAdmin]

Hello there,

the site has been updated to the last SMF version, which is the 2.0.16.
This included several security fixes as I've mentioned in the pinned thread, but it also made the site fully compliant with GDPR (EU privacy laws), as you're now able to download your data (other than requesting it to be deleted) through your profile, there will be an option on the left after you click on profile at the top
If you're logged in, this link will also work --> HERE

Regards

Surprise!
I hope that by now, most internet users have seen a GDPR notice before, so this shouldn't come as a big shock.
Have not seen this since last year, myself, when the bulk of them were rolled out.

Technically speaking, it wouldn't be even completely necessary because Fieldlines is from USA anyway, when GDPR is just for EU stuff (and I'd have no way to know whether someone is from EU unless he told me, IPs can be faked). So it's kind of like "yeah, will throw it in so it's there" but not the most important thing ever I would say
Plus, yeah, as you hinted most people won't even read the text and will think "it's just another GDPR"... And they'd be right

And they released an hotfix for the screw-up that was the 2.0.16 (as usual, tbh) with a fix I had already applied (for bug that had the potential to crash the server) and a few other things... Since they are geniuses at work they didn't want to wait a few more hours or update the copyright, so I'm just gonna update the year myself

* TechAdmin is thinking about changing it to some odd year from the 90s and see if any regular user will notice

Too bad I can't get the money I spent from back them too

Yesterday I was sitting on the ski lift and the guy beside me was wearing a VINTAGE snowboard, made in 1997.  Made during the darkest times of the Ski-VS-Board wars.  Everything about it was different, especially the boots and bindings compared to mine.  He told me the story of the first run he did on it - hiking up Fortress Mountain after 95cm of fresh snowfall.

Two old geezers on their rocking chairs chairlift, with moist eyes as they reminisce about the good old days...

1997 was a good year.

1997 was a good year.

Dang, can't remember much about that one, I was 4 (also I might be drunk at this time so uh, yeah, happy new year and those nice things and so on so on)
