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
