Thanks theymos! Smiley

Can you please make an option to log-out from all computers except the one user using? So if we checked 'remember me', the account can be logged-out from other computer. Roll Eyes Suggestions are welcome! Smiley

After see myself logged out and see the bug warning, I thought someone stole my cookies and took my account.

Nice to see I was wrong.

Will change password anyway.

Why was the warning removed from the news section, above the breadcrumbs?

It wasn't removed. The warning about the TLS vulnerability and to change your password rotates with the notice that the new version of QT has been released, with each notice showing on every other time you load a page.

The POODLE vulnerability in TLS/SSL could have allowed a man-in-the-middle attacker to read encrypted forum traffic. For example, Tor exit nodes could have used this attack against anyone using Tor to access the forum. I disabled SSLv3 to prevent this attack in the future, and I logged everyone out to invalidate any possibly-compromised cookies. If you used a proxy or ISP that you don't absolutely trust to access the forum, then you should also change your password.

Most other sites are similarly affected.

I suggest that in the future, you make the "News: Due to a recently..." sentence clickable, and link to a post or an arcticle mentioning what it is all about.
It would save time for anybody that didn't see any news about that yet and who is curious at what exactly the attack/issue entails (outside of bitcointalk).

Monero's privacy and therefore fungibility are MUCH stronger than Bitcoin's. 
This makes Monero a better candidate to deserve the term "digital cash".
