This query is : Resolved
Any online portal should never allow the user to invoke navigation to "Back" for security reasons. But LCI online portal allows it as it is amply seen that duplication in the posting of queries. Users tend to correct the mistakes in their first postings by using "Back" Button and then post again. It is always considered to be a dangerous proposition under Gateway Payment system or even normal browsing of any sites related to financial implications. In other words, if a user does not log out by mistake anybody can use this Back Button and engage in all transactions. I request the Technical team of LCI to look into the software and fix the bug.
Example: Today I have posted a query with having typing mistake to the title. I utilized the software bug and got it corrected. This should never be allowed for any secured website portal.
Thank You

such level of security is not necessary for a social forum like ours.
only benefit of such arrangement is a possibility of duplicate posting unknowingly.

However, under Information System Security there is no classification as Issues related to Social Forum or otherwise. It is only the convention that is globally put in place where 60K Plus membership have access. This is my humble opinion as an IT professional. It is upto LCI to decide the matter on merits.

Sorry Parthasarathi, I was not trying to contradict/oppose your idea of security.
"security" has become some kind of threat in every walk of life. I just raised it just to think,whether such high level of security as in a bank transaction is needed here.

Any social Networking channel has to address to all security issues. Matter may be trivial but consequences may be serious in the cyber law perspective. That is it.
