Ooo... now that's a good idea. Unfortunately I use this user optional word censor hack in place of the regular word censor, so that won't work for me. But thanks for giving it some thought.

There's no way around it. If you allow it, you have to limit it..and that defeats the purpose of allowing it.

What makes completely removing it better than limiting it? I already limit it by restricting it to people who are in a specific group. And you're right, if I have to limit it a lot more than that I might as well not enable it at all.

I have to say... I've seen all the discussion around here and at vb.com over the years about how nobody should ever enable HTML under any circumstance ever ever ever, and it really makes me wonder why Jelsoft hasn't just removed the functionality from vBulletin.

But even if they did, I'd find a way to hack it back in.
