Hi,
I got an user that posted this code
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://alonewalf.sitemynet.com">
in many threads.

When a user open those threads, it redirects...
I deleted all the criminal posts, but...
do you know how can I prevent that ? What can I do ?

thx

Is there a way to filter the allowed HTML tags ?

Why can't you turn off HTML? It is very dangerous to have enabled.

cos I use html to embed SWF files.

I should enable html when I post certain kind of threads and disable it when I finish... but it's a bit annoying :)

This is the exact reason why HTML is disabled by default.

Use custom BBCode for when you want to use HTML inside posts. Custom BB Codes (http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/bb_code). You may also find a few BBCode mods here in the Modfications section.
