Thread: HTML in post

Im not very good with BBCode in post, so I think you should allow HTML code in post and in signatures, it would help alot.

html is quite powerful, it could cause some security issues.

True true, that would mean we would have to watch the forums more, but it would help alot!

Security is much more than watching.

Perhaps, you should allow certain HTML codes? Then again, you'll have to be careful not to add any vulnerabilities.

HTML should never be allowed in forums unless you put all sections with HTML access into moderated so that you can approve each section. Even if you leave your site for a couple hours with a place with HTML access then there could be a huge threat.

ciullaanthony, what you can do is enable the WWSIWYG option in general settings and then you don't ever have to worry about actually knowing the code because there are options in changing everything.

Well, you could definitely enable certain HTML codes. But you'll have to be careful not to create a vulnerability. Nothing is full proof, so you'll always have to be cautious. And always have backups.
