To further test the HTML problem I discovered in the general suggestions discussion, I am going to post a close HTML tag in my next post to see if that breaks the site. Reply to comment

Sweet, looks like you do filter against a lot of possible things that could break stuff. Reply to comment

I saw this today, thought it was pretty funny.

I'm just going to go into the source code now to try to find anything else that might break things.

So... yeah that was me just copy-pasting about half of this page's source for the hell of it. Pretty funny. Reply to comment

Okay, maybe I will stop copy-pasting source code because this looks like it could all be quite silly. Reply to comment

Nicholas Creely Jan. 6, 2009
Will this do anything? Reply to comment

Nicholas Creely Jan. 6, 2009
Nope. Interesting to see which tags do and don't mess things up. (Yes, I'm going trhough an HTML reference and picking out random tags to see what they do. A pre tag, which apparently changes the font to a fixed-width without collapsing spaces, does nothing.) Reply to comment

So here's some info, to help you try and break things:
Allowed tags are: strong, em, li, i, b, ul, ol, a, img, code.

The site does have strong XSS protection, which at present, protects from all known attacks of the browser.

So, I'll be using this to test against - keep trying things here! Reply to comment

Steven Skoczen Jan. 6, 2009
Alright, Mr. Creely.

The SixLinks site has fought back.

Now try and break it again :) Reply to comment

Yeah, I'm not going to lie, bold and strong look identical Reply to comment

Looks like you fixed this problem, but I shall test it again today to make sure.

Yeah, just as I thought from yesterday, the UL, OL, and LI tags do not appear to be functioning. Don't know if this a bug or not. Reply to comment

Using the em tag Reply to comment

Nicholas Creely Jan. 7, 2009
So... is the emphasis tag the same as the italics tag and the strong tag the same as the bold tag or am I missing something here? Reply to comment

Nicholas Creely Jan. 7, 2009
Reply to comment

Nicholas Creely Jan. 7, 2009
Alright, it looks like you are filtering out all attributes of the a tag other than href, so this will test that theory. Reply to comment

Well that's kind of cool I guess Reply to comment
Nicholas Creely Jan. 7, 2009 It appears that I am going to have to get more creative to break things today. I'll have to do some thinking to try to come up with a way. Reply to comment Nicholas Creely Jan. 7, 2009 Worst case scenario, I can post some silly pictures in here Reply to comment Nicholas Creely Jan. 7, 2009 Let's see how a hi res image looks in here. Reply to comment Nicholas Creely Jan. 7, 2009 That does look kind of silly. Is there any way you could limit the resolution that images can take up or reduce them to a thumbnail or something if they are going to stretch past the box allotted for the message post? Reply to comment Nicholas Creely Jan. 7, 2009 I feel like this image will really prove this point: Reply to comment Nicholas Creely Jan. 7, 2009 All ridiculousness of the size aside, this is actually a really cool image I think. Reply to comment Nicholas Creely Jan. 7, 2009 I have no idea if this is going to work, but it would finally beat this point in as much as I possibly can. Reply to comment Nicholas Creely Jan. 7, 2009 Yeah, I didn't think so. Reply to comment Nicholas Creely Jan. 7, 2009 Let's try this: Reply to comment Nicholas Creely Jan. 7, 2009 Eh, stupid image hosting, not really worth it I guess. My point has been made. Reply to comment Nicholas Creely Jan. 7, 2009 Test Reply to comment Nicholas Creely Jan. 7, 2009 Actually, it looks like it did stretch the page out more (I tried posting a red line that is about 34000 pixels wide and one pixel tall, and it is either too thin to show or it just isn't working. However it did appear to stretch the page more. Unrelated but cool: Now that the page has been stretched, this page let's you take a look at the watermark without anything in front of it. Reply to comment Nicholas Creely Jan. 7, 2009 It almost looks like a signature.

Perhaps it would be prudent to include some sort of word wrap feature to make sure this doesn't happen.
