Disable HTML Code - Security?

[shimei]

Hello Lynne,

I am a little unclear about what you mean. I pasted in plain text in code tags.

In or out of the [ code ] tags the code disappears and wrecks the site. Luckily I was able to delete the post because I was still looking on it and did not navigate away from it on one browser. If I even post the following:

<!-- Categories -->

The above code cannot be seen in my page in or outside the code tags. Is this a security issue? I can't see how it isn't because all one needs do is post some code in the browser and my site is wrecked on 5.1.5. I have set no to allow html code wherever it is an option in the admincp, and that's the only thing I could come close to assuming that would prevent it.

I have filled out a support ticket with Vbulletin but it has been days and no solution. If someone post a code into the browser and my site goes down how can I find the post when no posts are visible. Would I have to go to the database and find the culprit post and delete it?

Thanks William
