Title: How do I turn on allow HTML
Post by: Force_of_Will_ on March 13, 2007, 10:32:01 PM: How do I allow html on this site?
All I see is the type and it looks like gibberish.

:confused:

Dunno what can be done about it, though. I just read through it.

[ b ] TEXT HERE [/ b] (Without spaces) for bold

[ img ]URL HERE[/ img ] (Without spaces) For images. And So on.

Post by: orth on March 14, 2007, 02:12:08 PM: HTML will not be turned on. There are serious security implications to allowing HTML in an open forum.

I will be creating a script to help translate the existing posts from html to vb code. It won't catch everything but hopefully we'll get the bulk of them. Just please have some patience over the next couple weeks with matters regarding the forum.

I have posted a link that will allow for the translation between html and BB Code (same as Vcode I think) if you want to take some of the work off of orth's hands. its as simple as copy paste. In addition for future reference the tutorial link I posted also teaches the fundamentals of the coding used on this forum.
