Hi, just wondering.


What sorta security risks are there in enabling HTML in posts?
1.Redirecting to other site
2. Annoyed Flash files
3. Hack Attempt
4. Autoload Keyloggers
Do those security issues depend on specific HTML tags which can be disabled?
i dont think there is any option for specific like u can get in Paid forums. in myBB board only HTML on/off is there
* XSS Attacks -> Javascript
* Annoying Content

^ Thats all in mind

+ Rick Roll Flashes
MyBB attempts to filter out malicious HTML but it's always a risk allowing it. The best option would be to make MyCodes that allow safe use of HTML.
