Kill Attachments in Signatures

Replaces signature images using your board's attachements with a message telling them to stop.

open includes/functions_showthread.php
find: (on lines 517 and 518)

PHP Code:

$post['signature'] = parse_bbcode($post['signature'], 'nonforum', $vboptions['allowsmilies']);
$sigcache["$post[userid]"] = $post['signature']; 


and add above it:

PHP Code:

$post['signature'] = preg_replace("/\[img\](.*?)\/attachment.php(.*?)\[\/img\]/i", "[i]attached pictures not allowed in signatures.[/i]", $post['signature']); 


Using this method will block any img tag that uses attachment.php, if you want to block just ones that use your site, use something like:

PHP Code:

$post['signature'] = preg_replace("/\[img\](.*?)www.3.8mustang.com\/forum\/attachment.php(.*?)\[\/img\]/i", "[i]attached pictures not allowed in signatures.[/i]", $post['signature']);

There is also the option of just not allowing dynamic images.

some hacks require this to be turnt on though, such as the signature upload hack. This hack is a nice idea so lets keep on topic

bandwidth, database load, messes with the counters. My site just isn't a sig host, and too many people started using attachments, so I wrote that line.
