Disable HTML and enable BBcode. They can still do their links and sigs, it's just a lot more secure that way

b,i,u,pre,img,a

That should be good for people to do the basic stuff. Thats what I have mine set for anyway. Haven't found a need for much else. I really only kept/added those just because I'm more used to typing html than I am bbcode. If it can be done with bbcode though, the html tags aren't really needed.

The problem with allowing any HTML, even just simple text style tags is that we don't check whether they are closed correctly ... therefore it's not too hard for someone to break the layout of a board. With BBCode processing of the tag 'stops' (well, it doesn't begin actually) if opening and closing tags aren't found, so far less chance of someone messing up the layout.

And the <img> tag can be used to execute javascript in IE, which = A Bad Thing (tm).
