 Topic: Two bugs: reviews and posts...Posted: January 19 2008 at 02:24 |

1. When you write reviews, if you put commas (") (I think they're called quotes here) they don't appear in your review and you have to go back to the edit review option in the collaborator page and re-add the (")... an annoying bug...
2. The active topics function sucks... We were having a big discussion in a thread about MAlmsteen and it didn't even show in the "active topics"....
You see? Bring the back last 10 posts!  (third thread where I post the same exact thing..sorry... ) |

Malicious html code is removed from what users enter in the review text area. This is to prevent cross site scripting (XSS) attacks like the one from last month. Unfortunately M@x seems to have used a "brute force" method which removes *any* html code and also quotes (").
Maybe M@x could look into this library: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=EFB9C819-53FF-4F82-BFAF-E11625130C25&displaylang=en It might solve the problem in a more elegant way, leaving harmless html like <b> or single quotes intact. |

Yes. I also have to correct my new reviews after I write one. Edited by Guillermo - January 20 2008 at 12:03 |

The HTML issues are on M@x's list of things to fix.
