all sysops of server can see passwords of all users in database. Many users 
could not be agreement.

Ok no problem, i think is not necessary to edit manually the database, every 
user will send itself personal informations to the server using the function 
"update server".

OK, i see the file and i was editing manually.
Did you have another way to use it or i just edit manually to traslate?
It possibile use variables or ID for line and insert all words of menu in a 
separate files (english, italian etc), to traslate every time new menu?

Ok, i think it is possible insert a voice in a menu, if user want enable 
view of web pages in the default web browser.
