UseBB Community

you shouldn't allow images from external servers for security reasons due to possible CSRF attacks. most forum administarators doesn't realize the danger, so i think it shouldn't be allowed by default.

It's sometimes hard for commnities to run without images at all. It's a default for every forum software to support images in posts. But if you want to remove it, open sources/functions.php and remove this line:

// [img]image[/img]
					"#\[img\]([\w]+?://[\w\#\$%&~/\.\-;:=,\?@\[\]\+\'!\(\)]*?)\[/img\]#is" => '<img src="" alt="'.$lang['UserPostedImage'].'" />

If you remove this, the [ img ][ /img ] tags won't be parsed..

As for UseBB 2.0 a setting to disable IMG tags per forum could be an idea.

@NextStep, i see your point. it should be configurable anyway just like Dietrich says. what's more it could be great feature to have possibility to choose tags you want to be parsed, or even easily plug-in own parser

That would be nice, but as I have said in the past this is far beyond the boundaries of a 'simple' bulletin board system..

Maybe with an ACP plugin would be better of course.

Administration and configuration possibilities have less to do with a light/simple forum package. Disabling certain BBCode tags can in fact be handy to keep the forum clean and light.

So this might probably be a feature for 2.0.
