I've hacked it in for you =)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That's kind of unavoidable, considering that Quick Reply doesn't reload the whole page now.

Unless I do some Javascript DOM hacking or something, but that's a bit unnecessary.

How ya doing, buddy?

It might be due to the gigantic list of names under "Total members that have visited the forum today". I've turned it off for the moment, does it improve performance?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I've made a Lite Set.

Tell me if it sucks, I've never used the lite set before so I don't know how it's supposed to look.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I prefer not having the message box pop up, that's pretty annoying. If I were intent on tracking the message I'd make sure to check the option beforehand.

How ya doing, buddy?

Thanks for the suggestions, I'm a bit behind on the implementation of the Lite Set (still need to code in galen's proposed changes).

The link spanning the entire postbit is just a matter of vbcode sequence -- if the [url] code is outside the [right] positioning code, the entire space gets linked.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

As I said, you do [right][url][img] instead of [url][right][img].

FELIPE NO

There's no change in the vBcode. It's still [url]{param}[ /url] and [url={option}]{param}[ /url].

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I suppose the vB development team changed it to ensure behavioural consistency across the vBcode buttons.

It's similar to the suggestion for the [google] tag, which I implemented. It was removed the same day due to the HTML exploit.

In short, any vBcode that involves putting a user defined string within tag parameters is a security risk. Therefore, none of the above ideas can be implemented until the vB developers make their vBcode parsing more robust.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It used to be relative until bobo put in the new URL system, I'll bring this up in the other thread.

I am not sure how adding foo twice would work... but... would that allow for a vulnerability? Or,can you not define new tags. Curious.

What I meant was HTML tag parameters, not vBcode tag parameters. In your example, the code substitution would involve <a href=.....{param}>, and thus, having a user defined string inserted into the <a> parameter. That is the security risk which has been, and can still be, exploited.

No, we'd rather not.

Click on "thread tools" at the top of every thread to access the print version.

I was speaking idiomatically.

In that case I shall point and laugh heartily at you!

I think it can be done with Javascript, if I get around to testing it.

FELIPE NO

We had those?

Anyway, just added them to the vBcode roster. Enjoy your H2SO4 and E = mc2

Yeah, it's a temporary measure I randomly applied. Is it extremely inconvenient?
