I don't want to stir up trouble, but I noticed we have HTML enabled by default. Does this worry anyone else? It'd be really easy to work up something dangerous, or heavily annoying, at the least.

I'd vote against it.

other forums that i go to disable html.. i don't use it.. i don't see any need for html.

Ditto. I don't think much of anybody actually has a need for it, and it offers another potential problem/hole. If Scott has it dialed in tight or monitored, though, then it could be very cool to have.

Interesting. Just found that by accident.

I've always wanted to paste one of these somewhere. Was looking for the Reservoir Dogs one, I'm Mr. Blonde. :smile:

I prefer markup that does what I mean, not what decides what it should look like. The UBB tag for CODE is still screwed up -- instead of using PRE, it uses TT and lots of BR's. The end result is (marginally) heavier code, and the linebreaks aren't preserved when I copy and paste.
