How should this hack manage images?

I have set it so that users can't have images in their posts unless part of a specific user group. But when I log-on to the forum under my test account (which should not be allowed to use images) I can enter the url for an image, but instead of the image being displayed (as normal) it just shows the url of the image.

I had expected it would give a similar error to the one that appears if a user tries to use more lines than they are allowed.

That is the expected behaviour. It's the same thing that would happen if you did not have this Hack installed and disabled [IMG] for Signatures.

Btw: How exactly did you disable images?

I simply had 0 in the various image option boxes, such as size, width etc.

I have an unusual problem here. I followed the instructions and every time I test this hack out via 'Edit Signature' in 'UserCP', the hack doesn't do anything. No errors no nothing...

Thanks in advance for the help.

What is the query that will clear all signatures from the vb3_usertextfield table?

[bplinson]

Does anyone have the query that will drop the data currently in the signature field of the vb2_usertextfield table?

[ludachris]

Is there a way to prevent users from entering URL's and having them be automaticaly parsed (in their signature)? I've disallowed linking to external URL's. I have HTML in sigs turned off. I disallow the URL bbcode tag. Yet, if I enter a URL in the signature, it is parsed and shows up as a hyperlink in the post. Am I missing a setting?

It's automatically throwing in the URL bbcode, which is supposed to be disabled. Yet, it parses it anyway if you type in a raw URL.

Really could use sme help on a query to remove the signature from all my users. Anyone have the syntax?
