Permissions Change: HTML

[Administrator]

We have recently imposed tighter restrictions on the use of HTML in posts. This was done under advisement of vBulletin to make the board more secure.

Evidently, there are ways to use HTML coding to inject malicious code into a post that will capture your passwords and login info. Therefore, for your security we have disabled the use of HTML.

What does this mean to you?

Most of you never used it, so you aren't affected. Those that used it for embedding YouTube and Google videos will be affected. To overcome this, we have constructed custom BB codes to accommodate the use of Google and YouTube videos. You will see the new buttons in the posting editor. You need not insert the full "embed" code. You need only insert the URL or the video ID into the window. The parser will automatically strip a URL down to the ID only. Give it a try and let me know if it works okay for you.

A couple of our HTML-savvy members will still have HTML capabilities. If you require the use of HTML, please PM me and we will see if we can accommodate you.
