Yes, I want more stuff
No, it's not useful
Rookie
I have visited others forums and they all have HTML code. So I'm wondering why don't we have HTML code available on UtimateCarPage? I think the forum will become more funny, more smileys, better signature with pictures and more...
That's my point of view, and you what do you think about that?

I'd hope they would ask a few question first ...Originally Posted by Swissbeatz
Is everyone on broadband ?
HTML code opens up folks to add superfluous 'fluff'. It looks great but doubles the time for a poor dial-up user to access.
I like to hope that a person on dial-up can get a reasonable service from a forum I contribute to.
Does everyone have firewall ?
Does everyone have scripting turned off ?
Does everyone manage cookies ?
Does everyone have ad-blockers ?
Does everyone have pop-up stoppers ?
If you don't asnwer yes to all the above you don't want html code in a forum
It's too easy to embed a malicious attack taking advantage of all the holes in MS products !!

No need to be offensive.
Show me the proof that the PC and HTML code is safe ?
Do you want to give me your IP address and we'll see
Unless you have all of the items listed above we could find a way in.
Do you read newsgroups and e-mails with HTML enabled ? If you do, oyou WILL get stung one day. It's the reality of the PC.
Well all that site tells you is the MAC grass isn't any greener.Truth! Warning, you may not be able to handle the truth.
It's the popularity of the PC that makes it the target.
If the PC is secure, why are MS now placing bounties on virus writers' heads ??
Please do NOT promote a position of security which may mean less knowledgable people have their home computers compromised.
You may know enough to protect yourself, but unless we are honest about the risks then we all suffer the attacks.
Put your petty slurs aside and prove that embedded HTML would be safe....

Its a joke. Html would be nice, but not practical.

It is not funny to call people liars who are trying to help.

We could have some simple HTML formatting.... i.e. the table tag. Or put a table function into rich text for situations like this. Only allow a few tags, Table, Anchor, Img, B, I, U, etc... the basics. Ban blink and marquee tags. And javascript. Hmm... the others would overlap rich text... but table would be nice for specs.... vital on a car page.

Good point.
They've added some automatic tag support they could add others which are secure.
no scripting, so safe-ish.
Let's try and come up with the extra html we'd like to see.
Agree with Doza,
1. tables
2. font - let's folks chose fixed ( but maybe limit what size they can make it - that "ally against werty" hurt my esyes
3. IMG size - let US control how big it's going to look on screen.
4. List
Those are the ones I think I'd use regularly if they were there.
Any others ?

Depends where they chose to do the iamge re-size rendering.no .. with the img size .. i don;t agree ... 400x400 is maximum ... there're a lot of guys using dial-up ... .. at least. i dont always use broadbadnd
It could be done server-side.
BUT, good reminder, we don't all have broadband

Marquee/Blink tag would let us know what posts to skip over.Good point.
