HTML code - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Neon · 27th January 2005, 02:34 AM

I'm just wondering if html code is a permanently disabled feature. I tried to look through my user CP but couldn't seem to find anything to change it. And also, if it is disabled I'm curious as to why .... although maybe it just makes it easier for you to deal with Brian.

HTML in the forum posts is flagged as a potential security risk - for example, malicious code, such as a virus, can be embedded in HTML - so I play safe and leave it off. I doubt many of us here would appreciate a new user joining up, spamming a link, and dropping a trojan off in the post as well just for fun.
