Good thing I’m more responsible than cPanel

Sweet goodness. I was logged in to the cPanel account of Tutorial Outpost setting up some database stuff for the next version of the site and through a small turn of events I mis-clicked inside the browser and accidentally clicked the “Delete” button next to the main database for Tutorial Outpost. No biggie right? They prompt you to make sure that you want to delete something major like a database. Ummm…NO THEY DON’T!

Yes, that’s correct. cPanel was kind enough to NOT prompt me to confirm if I wanted to delete my database. This is something I can’t even begin to fathom. Seriously…not only should they prompt me, they should ask for a password too. This is a major oversight in the software and if you use cPanel be very careful if you’re in the MySQL area.
