script warning

Nov 04, 2003 IceD'Bear link
If you write in the subject of a post something like
<script>alert('some text');</script>
an msgbox appears...
i think it could be used for other thigs too, so you guys better fix that....

What? No it doesn't. If the messageboard allowed HTML subjects there would be an awful lot of them.

sorry for the fuss
i saw something like that happening on an other forum, but i didn't want to test it here, so i downloaded the page source an manualy changed a topic titel to <script>....</script> and it worked, so i thought to give you a warning

Well, heh. If you insert your own HTML in the page source, of course it'll work. A long, long time ago you could put HTML in the subject lines but I fixed that fairly quickly after it was discovered.
