   Please allow "style" in tags
  I don''t really know why you disallow "style" (replacing it with "nostyle") but it''s annoying... I''m trying to change my signature but can''t get it looking good without using style. CSS is not evil you know. It is only used for rendering, not functionality like JavaScript is, so it''s harmless.While I''m at it, please remember (either in cookies or the database) whether or not we use signatures when posting so I don''t have to keep checking it every time I post. Of course you''ll probably fix this for the new forums.   ~CGameProgrammer( ); -- Post screenshots of your projects. There''s already 134 screenshot posts. 
  I''d like that too, but I can see why it isn''t allowed. You could move things out of your post, cover up other peoples posts, pretend to post as someone else, or even cover up the entire page so nobody can do anything. ;  <div nostyle="position:relative; top:-48; background: #333399"><b>Myopic Rhino</b></div>No. ;quote:Original post by Beer Hunter   <div nononostyle="position:relative; top:-48; background: #333399"><b>Myopic Rhino</b></div>No.   Then filter out "position". They already do that for JavaScript, it's not hard replacing "position" with "&#112;osition" (which looks identical in text).   ~CGameProgrammer( ); -- Post screenshots of your projects.

(Think ''big red hitlar'' but more psychadelic). So as usual, a bunch of troublemakers ruined it for everyone else. ;quote:Original post by superpig  Style, IIRC, was taken out because people were abusing it.

Except that that''s like shutting the site down because a couple of people deserve to be banned. You should simply disable HTML privileges for those people.   ~CGameProgrammer( ); -- Post screenshots of your projects.

Yeah, that''s what I mean. Add another column to the database for HTMLAllowed, with 1 as the default. Or maybe 0 as the default until they''ve been registered for a couple of months (to avoid creating new accounts just to crap-post). 0 can still allow simple HTML like  anchor tags, bold/italic, etc.   ~CGameProgrammer( ); -- Post screenshots of your projects.

What do you think they''re running here, MySQL?
