[PUBBY]

I just removed the permission to use HTML in signatures.

It was highly recommended against but as I wanted to use it, I had to let everyone else have the ability to use it (It is not controllable by membership level ... I wish it were.)

Anyway, you'll see a lot of broken signatures.

The good news is there are a couple of ways arounds this for most.

Basically there BBCodes which will allow the posting of images and even flash movies.

It hurts me too but the security danger ... I've been going on too long with the knowledge there was AN ENORMOUS SECURITY HOLE IN THE SITE because of this.

When I started getting a page that broke my brower, I just had to act.

Please be kind when you rip me a new one.

See below ...my signature is history too!

[Lady Raider]

do I need to remove mine?

[PUBBY]

do I need to remove mine?

Nope, not at all... yours is working fine.

Only when it looks like mine above with all < ??? > stuff will it be an issue.

For those who have flash movies in their signatures, this BBcoding format works.

CODE

[flash=500,200]http://www.paulding.com/pix/pubbysig.swf[/flash]

and for images (jpgs, gif, bmp) this image coding works:

These show like this:

Lady Raider:

Nope, only when your signature looks ugly like mine.

do you have to worry about it.

[Lady Raider]

Ok Thanks Pubby...

[Cuteyellowbug]

just checking my sig.....

[myrlin]

is mine still there??

yay Loghan is still there

[Just thinkin' hard]

Mine will probably be broke - I just figured out how to do it with some help from a fellow p.com'er. Thanks (to the person that helped).

Lets see if this works:

CODE

[flash=500,200]http://www.wishafriend.com/countdown/swf/graduation1.swf? then_year=2007&then_month=4&then_day=25&eventt=My+Daughter+Graduates+%21" [/flash]

It will display the flash fine but it won't pick up the external variables which is one of the security vulnerabilities.

Sorry.

- sorry that cracked me up!

i bet erin has something in her brown bag that would help with the pain and discomfort of being ripped a new one.

[PUBBY]

Actually, it would appear that most of the signatures were fine ... I thought there may have been more that were using html.

PS: Know that when I went into this change, it was with the idea there were many more using html in their sigs than apparently are ... so I was expecting a greater reaction.

Thanks for trying Pubby , I switched to ticker central I think this will work. I liked the other one better but oh well

glad to see your hind end will be safe after all

[Oh No Its Me]

POOP!

rock on mine is still there

[WebsterMOM]

TEST too!!!

[Laurel Bay]

It was a real miracle that I figured back last week how to do something. I just messed around and it worked, but all this computer-jargon is still just like gibberish to me, so I don't know what you are talking about, but if it is a good thing, great!!!

[history101]

Let's see if mine is still there

I was wondering when you were going to do that.

You don't own the code that runs this Site?

[workingforaliving]

dang it

[Ash]

I went to the same site I originally got mine from, made a new one and copied the BB code instead of the HTML code, most ticker sites have multiple codes, just pick the BB one and it will be fixed!! Mine is woohoo!!

[PUBBY]

Smitty:

I have absolute permissions to mod the code anyway I wish ... however, it is not a question of permissions. I'm not a code junkie and would not even attempt the feat.

Rather I'll just go with the flow there Shel ... and the flow says that right now the security issues posed by the availability of html in the sigs is just too great.

Code junkie here....with other BB systems you can limit the use of HTML tags to registered (pay) users only. You can have the systems class just as you use here, with the limitations in place on each user. It's really just an "if, than" statement buried so deep in the code that only someone reading binary code without the aid of a computer (Matrix stuff here) could really find!!!!

I AM STILL LEARNING AND I HAVE NO CLUE AS TO WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT EITHER! OF COURSE, I DON;T KNOW HOW TO ADD A SIGGY SO, I HAVE NO PROBLEM, HUH???

I can allow html for specific member classes here as well. The permissions are available for posting in the topics.

They just didn't put the switch on the signatures and because of that, it was an all or nothing proposition.

For the record commerce members, who would be able to include a paypal payment button in their topics to sell something, do have html permissions.
