Are Bank Withdrawal Limits Broken?

Warcraft Hunters Union reports that despite their guild bank having controls limiting withdrawals to three stacks a day, a hacked guild member's character was able to just about empty the bank.  A problem ticket has been sent to Blizzard about the fact that the controls were bypassed.  I hope if any more information comes out about this that we'll hear about it.

If you run a guild, be warned.  Read the Comments for tips.

Mod Reviews: eAlign, Baud Mark and CloseUp

Short reviews of three small mods:  eAlign puts a grid over your screen.  I have no idea why one would want to do this, but there you go.

Baud Mark makes the raid marking icons appear around your cursor when you push a hot key.  This gets rid of the bar in the middle of your screen (always a good thing).

CloseUp allows you to rotate and zoom on character models, pets, etc.

UPDATE:  Battle.net will integrate with Facebook and there will be some sort of network among friends you can use.  Given Blizzard's security record, I think I'd be cautious about using either item, however.
