Chris:
Are you going to allow HTML coding and thus posting of video and embedded objects?

Hi there!
We won't be allowing people to post arbitrary html... But we do have plans to allow attachments of video and images in posts. It will just be done in a more secure way.
Hope that helps

As everyone has experienced the web is filled with asshats that take great pleasure in causing other people pain and problems. From what I have learned allowing HTML in posts is opening up a can of worms we don't want to even be near. So I am going to rely on Indie for managing this aspect of the community security. phpBB2 is brand new to me, so I am just not sure of the best way of handling things like security. Indie knows and will be all over it.  |

| BB Code is similar to HTML and requires a very small learning curve. Do a Goggle search for BB Code if you want a detailed listing. There is a small amount of bb coding selections above the message box in the post composition area. If you have FireFox, I strongly recommend the BB Code extension for quick edits. One of the great parts about phpBB is that the quote tags work a heck of a lot better than EZ as does BB Code in general. |
