Thanks for the feedback. Is there anything I have to do with my db in navicat to make that field for passwords accept SHA1? right now it's set for varchar 40.

I am changing all my pages to use SHA1, but the first one the user_Update.php gave me some trouble. Meaning that the hash is easily decrypted where as the hash that was created on my other site was not an I remember support had me change a setting in navicat mysql. Just wondering why its different now, do I have my db or other settings correct?

Thanks
Ed
