HTML is no longer allowed in any signatures (including mine) Sorry folks but the issue is getting to dangerous

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.

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

Nope, only when your signature looks ugly like mine.
do you have to worry about it.

Lets see if this works:
It will display the flash fine but it won't pick up the external variables which is one of the security vulnerabilities.
Sorry.

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.

Alternate signature available for those under 3 and right wing conservatives.
Why does it have to be political correctness? Why can't it just be common courtesy?
If Tylenol, duct tape, or a band aid can't fix it... you've got a serious problem!

I was wondering when you were going to do that.
You don't own the code that runs this Site?

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 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.
