The announcements time out. I believe that's why the annoucement about vBcode being turned off is missing.

People are posting pix right in threads instead of just having to post links...

I assumed that meant that BB Code was back. It's either that or HTML.

I'm no expert in this (never tried it) but someone said something about trying to upload to someplace like Image Shack and then posting the link with bracketed img /img tags.

Someone/something/someplace - ok, I know nothing...

You do know something. That works. I upload images to a google page creator account and then use the img tags (the little button to do that actually) and it works just fine. Using the img tags for some links works too.

Read all about it at http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/WEB-156.

From: the always helpful Jesse Barnett, in the jira

On Monday, January 31, 2005 a cross site scripting vulnerability was discovered in all versions of vBulletin prior to v3.06. The forums are using vBulletin v 3.05, so that for nearly a year and a hlf, we were vulnerable to someone stealing our authentication cookies. The exact same authentication used for our SL accounts.

But even with an upgrade to a newer version of vBulletin we would still probably be vulnerable under the present login scheme. Historically bbcode has been a popular hacking target. The new autentication API being worked on by LL will bypass any further security concerns with the use of bbcode. I can't see any reason why after it's full implementation, the forums can't be upgraded to a newer version and bbcode reenabled.

Which eventually shamed Jeff Linden into admitting it was indeed a security issue that could be solved by upgrading vBulletin. Months ago. Hasn't happened yet.

It is suspected that it causes cancer.

Isn't it amazing that they were "Shamed" into announcing it? I don't know what it entails, or how long it would take to do, I don't see a real reason it hasn't been fixed.

Tells you how they feel about this Forum. Deservedly or not. I've been to a couple of forums that are using the new software and it really is nice. There are some features that really would add to this place.

If you use Firefox, there's an add-on called 'Linkify' that'll turn any text URL into a link. Ironically, I don't have a link for it.

I love Strife's Greasemonkey script. I wouldn't even notice if they switched on BBCode again...

Linkification?

I used that before Greasemonkey.

Thanks Alyx, that's the one. It'd certainly have been easier to find a link for it if I'd got the name right.
