[IMG] tag exploit

[msb.]

That's what I do. I have sigs and avs hidden cos it looks better.

It loads 0.45737466 faster aswell.

You can hide signatures, we'll bring in a rule shortly about cheating for profile and page views etc. Its a rule that shouldn't harm anyone who isn't doing anything they shouldn't

Maybe a rule about hiding pages image tags aswell?

Basically the rule is you only put an image URL in an image tag. That should sort it?

Cpanel automatically logs IP's anyway so I've got a few thousand ip's off several users on my Cpanel anyway, not like i'm going to do anything with them even if I could do anything .

So that was who was opening dirty websites on my PC eh?

That's going to be pointless at the end of the day, unless you hire a team to go through all signatures, threads and posts looking for links in image tags - Because having mods and super mods doing it will be a waste of their time when they could be doing something else that's more important. Surely there must be a way of doing it in the word filter? Isn't

"[img]*.png/gif/jpg[/img]" an option in the word filter which means only those can be allowed, or would you have to type out all instances e.g. php/html/htm and so on and so forth?

Seems weird vB haven't sorted this out :S Maybe Google has answers

Well we were considering doing it on an as-reported basis mostly. Obviously members are noticing, so they'd report it to a super moderator. Plus, mods check sigs in their forums for oversized images anyway.

I did find a google answer for it when we had the skin change problems, however MAD said that putting in the code would be too resource intensive.
