Scripts in sigs that SET COOKIES will no longer be allowed at vBulletin.org
 

If you have a script linked in your sig that attempts to set cookies in another person's browser, please remove it.

Such sigs are no longer allowed. :) If you have one like this, please make the change or we will do it for you.

Reason: For the sake of other members, we wish to ensure the security of their accounts and this site.

I don't get it, what is going on?

Some people are using active content in their signatures. Some of these call a script on another site to show the signature and some use cookies for that.

Does this include signature images with forum stats on them? Because a php script generates them

Yes, especially if they set a cookie.

Unfortunately yes. Before this didn't create a problem, but we now have users setting (intentionally or unintentionally) cookies from their sites and we can't afford to expose our users to this :)

*hands Marco an "e"*

There still are ways around this, you can just .htacess the file to read as a .gif file and rename it.

Lol, thanks. Changed

No problemo.

Heh. That would have looked dodgy if this were vbdanceparty.org. :)
