Admin allowed to use HTML code? How?

[93Corvette]

I have researched this, but I have not found a clear cut way of this this. I don't understand it.

I belong to another website and posts lots of items. Since VB3 is so hard at posting pictures what I want to do is just grab the HTML code from the other website and post it.
However, I only show the code (the images and the other HTML code shows up), not the actual pictures and text without the code.

I know there is an option to allow HTML code, but everyone says NEVER to allow it. So...
1. Is there a way to only allow the admin (me) to post HTML code? (thus preventing a security risk?)

2. Where exactly do you make the changes? Is it located in more than one place?

3. Lets say only the admin can post HTML, is there a risk that someone could break in and harm the website?

I am using VB 3.8.5.

Example:

<p>+</p>
<p>I am a famous ship, who am I?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img alt="" src="http://api.ning.com/files/zuqojO*gM6wfdZ*UcqXww*fYlSkV0YeOVS*DPemIM72H-48eCi5IQnfOjq3OoMJK25h9OqobpLTyS3zV3dVVraoXyOj*deTU/USS_arizona.jpg" /></p>

Maybe this mod: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...=96926&page=32 . I haven't used it but it looks like it's been in use for many years.

I don't think there's any risk because you probably already trust your admins.

I just tried that, and I think I have it working.
One problem is the instruction say the setting in Usergroup Manager should be set for "Yes" in the "Should this usergroups HTML posts be parsed". That statement doesn't appear in my 3.8.5 version. In the actual mod, people have asked, but no one has answered the question. But it seems like it working. I will keep playing with it.

Thanks for the link, it got me to were I need to be.....(I think)....
