I'd post a frowny face but there's no img bbcode.

So have this creepy corrupted text instead:

Why didn't you test it out first l0l


I already broke it a while back when I was doing photobucket cleaning. See here.

I changed it to something else after that and then I changed it to what you see now...which I have now modified to reflect my disappointment...which is what I was hinting at...

P.S. It would be very unprofessional if you extended the time again after a week is over.
Please remember that I don't do any coding for the site. None. I'm mostly just a messenger when it comes to "when".

In any case, the end to image-less days should shortly be over. I wanted to give you guys some positive news so maybe I got a little too hopeful about when this week we'd see the upcoming changes. Sorry if I made you feel disappointed in the end instead.

Your poor sig, Ntad. Soon!

Edit: Technically this is news. Just not the written-on-an-embedded-image kind :(

Undim, Kineta is only the Data Base Administrator and, as pointed out by her, our messenger. I doubt she knows anymore than we do about what is being done with IMG right now. She may get the news a bit before the release, but right now I don't think Kineta is aware of the coding process for the IMG.

Someone, somewhere must know what's happening. Hopefully our messenger can press the coders for details and let us know a little something with, or before, the big announcement.

At last, BB codes might be back soon. Waiting the week isn't that bad cause we've been without it for like 3 months! At least, they've got a set date for it to be back!! Can't wait!(〜^∇^)〜

Don't get your hopes up too high. I'm an IT development PM, and I'd like to see some release notes or a VDD, but believe me, getting the developers sometimes to give you direct answers can be a downright chore.

Host it on a site like imgur, and they have different size settings that you can set it to (large thumbnail, small thumbnail, square, etc).

Or, you can save it, edit it with a photo editing program (like GIMP or Photoshop) and then upload it back to imgur.

'"Hearts, you say? You Humans are always so quick to speak of such things. As though you carry your hearts in the very palms of your hands. But this eye of mine perceives all. There is nothing that it overlooks. If this eye cannot see a thing, then it does not exist. That is the assumption under which I have always fought. What is this "heart"? If I tear open that chest of yours, will I see it there? If I smash open that skull of yours, will I see it there?4th Espada

every time someone says the phrase "half life 3" I cant help but laugh
I try so hard to forget about half life 3 and then someone says it
so overused and annoying
I think it broke some part of my mind when i react to it

so I think "half life 3" *giggle giggle* O.O

In the end, we've decided to implement a whitelist. This means that, once the changes are pushed live, the domain the image you are trying to embed within the [img] tag must be on our list of approved hosts. This will also apply to profiles and club info sections, which up until now have still worked normally.

Users will be able to request their private websites to be added to the whitelist, but will need to meet specific requirements. This criteria was designed while considering an active user of the site who might be interested in using images hosted on their private webspace.

Users that do not meet this criteria will need to use standard hosting services. Thus, general-use image hosts can be requested by all users.

To note, the implementation of the whitelist is not necessarily for stopping gore posts; the real motivation is stopping the plishing attacks perpetuated by the hacker at the end of August.

The bad news: Unfortunately, I was notified this morning that the changes will likely not be pushed until next week.
This is why I usually don't say anything until after changes are live.

The good news: We've decided to open the Whitelist Request Thread now anyway to try and facilitate a smoother transition. I don't want to make a general announcement about this yet because I think it will be confusing until the changes are actually live.

Kineta, are you sure this vulnerability really exists? I would like to quote myself:

amcsi said:
I actually tested and this so-called HTTP Auth Injection only comes up if the img src points to the same domain as page.
If the url is external, the http auth dialog does not pop up.

EDIT: according to the article this vulnerability only affects old versions of IE. The question now is, how old? If it's like IE5.5 then the whole MAL site probably wouldn't even render anyway :D

The article: http://tghc.co/hotlinks/

@amcsi: Firefox 25 is still vulnerable to this kind of phishing. Chrome has had some back and forth about implementing a fix, latest versions seem safe as far as images are concerned.

So I see we're going with the original idea that Xinil and others thought of. Is there also going to be a Blacklist of sites that are forbidden?
