Thank you!

It wouldn't be too hard to add BBCode and Smilies to this. Unfortunately I currently have several other hacks that I'm working on with a higher priority (multi-domain cookie generation, download forums, latest post on forum home, intelligent poll queries) and at the same time I'm trying to get my site upgraded in a timely manner. I just threw this together real fast because someone requested it, and I thought I would be nice.

Nonetheless, I may update this on the weekend. Until then !

Awesome! I've been waiting for this.

I suppose this depends on the HTML code you insert.

[thincom2000]

Yup, whatever HTML you enter. You can also filter out some tags (which would work as a filter in normal text too, so I wouldn't recommend filtering tags like <b>, <i>, <u>, <tt>, etc or it will start filtering out parts of words. I tried adding an option to make it only filter when followed by a > but that just resulted in really bad tags like iframe, script, and embed still parsing.

[thincom2000]

*bump* This hack now adds permissions to parse BB-code, smilies, and IMG-code as well as HTML.

[thincom2000]

I have expanded this hack to add permissions for posting per usergroup as well. I have also fixed the banned tags filter so that it only filters HTML tags instead of acting as a bad word filter. As soon as I do some testing I'll release this updated version.

Anyone have a good screen shot of there memberinfo running this hack. Like to see how you are all using it
