Shut up Faulty, you don't know how to use the function properly. My location pwns yours.

omg hax :0
I don't know if I like this... It will be more difficult to tell what timezone someone would be in (assuming their location was accurate in the first place :P)
Forums with custom locations can also get a little annoying when people start putting little messages in their location.

btw styx... this is semi-related: these forums are fully susceptible to a sql injection attack, i suggest you see if there is a new version of the pages available

I've been trying and I can't figure out how you did what you did, even though I know it'll turn out to be something painfully easy.

it is

and it should also be disabled, people can intentionally mess up the forum layout :O locations outside of the ordinary should also be disabled, since it defeats the purpose of having a location and you can already use signatures for what you're doing

edit: and if the sql injection problem is in any way related to your avatar, then i doubt it's possible

n00bface, I wouldn't have said it was possible unless it was. After I looked around for other possible holes, I googled and found that snitz forums is notorious for being susceptible to SQL injection attacks. I looked at the code for the new version and it looks like the closed the hole.

I'm asking you to edit your post and take that information off. Not because I feel special that I have a custom signature, but because you are walking any idiot with enough brains to understand what you just said to a security hole in the system. They could potentially mess up these forums with basic html and a few posts.

Please, take the mature path and remove it.

It's your fault the whole thing was started in the first place. So you should be the mature one and travel back in time so no one ever saw that you came from Hell.

You are not supposed to click on that link! That's what you have to copy to somewhere!

BAHAHAHAHAHAH! Oh my god...

HHH, I'm starting to believe that you are completely incapable of reading posts. I'll bet you got so excited about changing your location that you just ran to the opportunity and clicked on the link without reading anything in the first post, got pissed off that it didn't do what you wanted it to, and then promptly complained that it wasn't working again without reading the post to figure out what you did wrong. The only other explanation is that you're utterly illiterate.

No, I already tried. I'm sure Flies knows how, but I don't want to bug him.

On the other hand, I just made my own html file so that I can edit whatever I want whenever I want without messing around with the code each time. So it's really not that big of a deal.

A PM would have been nice...but I saw what you did and fixed the code. Can you re-test?

FliesLikeABrick
July 6, 2005, 1:07 pm
yep, fixed. I knew it would be an easy fix since it was just a matter of adding a function call to check the characters used in the Avatar URL. This prevents people from doing stupid crap like I did below my avatar, and also prevents the SQL hole.... I don't know why the forum coders would protect the other URL entries on the profile page, but not the avatar box.
