Well some newbies could click "ok" and be redirected to the site's homepage or something. It's a very up-front way of someone advertising.


And it could be fixed by limiting the use of image tags to "gif" "jpeg" "jpg" "bmp" "png" or something like that (though that would mess with the random image scripts :dodgy:).

A very simple http-policy could redirect that internally (no aparent url change) to a script that could easily read everyithing you put into the fields. :rolleyes:

Care to say any try of tricking people into this should be considered as a try to hack the board and a permanent ban should be reasonable :P

i guess it could be used in a very dodgy way, by making people think that they need to enter their username and password again. :dodgy:

Yeah, but at least the prompt tells you what server you'd be sending the data to. :-/ Of course, some people without much web knowledge/experience could be fooled.

We'll simply remove any image that requires a login, as there is no way to stop them from being used in the [img] tags.

Oh, noes, DZ, the Auth Realm can be freely set to anything you want. So there's no way to know where it comes from. Actually, you can't tell what image caused it, unless you try them separately.

Well, Opera shows me the server name (msghelp.net) in addition to the realm. Other browsers don't? :-/

I tht it was an acutal script :P I was too lazy to read the whole thread :-)
I was refering to a php script that asks u a name and pw and only access to a file in which it was included when both are correct.

Enter username and password for "Oh noes!!!" at http://shoutbox.menthix.net

And behind the page says :refuck:
U could have atleast taken the liberty of putting the actual image there :-/

Ok, instead of "Oh noes!!" put
code:
"Oh noes!!

"

or

code:
"Oh noes!!!                                "
