For the sake of ensuring additional security on the boards... html and bb codes have been disabled.

Thanks Amy- I thought I was losing it LOL!

I sure am going to miss this, but I can definitely see your point!

Thanks for getting the site back up so quickly!

Thanks for the heads up, Amy! Or I would have been hunting around for it!

I don't understand-what are they?

They added the ability to add a working link in your posts, like Stacy has a My Gallery link.
I have one also on this post.
Does anyone know how to add these links to galleries for the people who don't have them already in place? Or am I missing something?

Just testing...ignore me!! LOL

Being really dumb here: How does not having them make the site more secure? Not critiquing your decision, just trying to gain some knowledge.

this was brought to our attention as a cross site XSS vulnerability in message boards when this is permitted.

This is a large security risk since it opens up the site to XSS (Cross Site Scripting) and other types of attacks targeted towards forums/bboards.

Our hosting's security department is monitoring the site at the moment and will be advising if we can reinstate a few of these features.
