Subject line and poll options can only contain plain text , and post only bb code wich is subsituted for mark up.

You can reference images in your post.

second dumb idea

The only difference I can see between gen, genmed and gensmall is that they generate 12, 11 or 10 point text.

I think allowing BBcode into anything but posts (and PMs) is a pretty dubious game. It gives all sorts of opportunities for messing up the page layout.

===============
Oooo.... if anyone is REALLY serious about this... a possibility, amongst yourselves, would be to put short URLs into the poll options, with some marker text, and code up a Greasemonkey script to replace them with the images.

not really

this is the class gen small:
.gensmall {font-size:10px}

It specifies the font size is 10 pixels

mark up that is delivered to the client is essentially static. That's without taking into account javascript effects/AJAX/plugins

You can make an image superficially small using styling, but it isn't really physically smaller. You'd either have to require the user to reduce the file size themselves, host the image reducing it when they up load, or have the server get the image on the fly and output it at a reduced size (if the user is prepared to wait a little extra, and you don't mind about the extra load)

There is no way anyone sensible would allow standard hypertext to be inputted by users on their forum, it is a security risk.

Pixels not points. Points are "pt". It is often better to specify in pixels but some people don't like the idea of relative sizing. point are good for you print style sheet.


Generally if BBcode was allowed elseware that sort of messing would effectively be allowed to. Like say if you were to put bullet points in the poll options. They who allow it, take the consequences

Having an additional image feature isn't worth doing, as you can just number the images according to the poll options. Generally submitting an empty first post is frowned up if it is allowed in the first place, so you are going to have o put a bit of description

Sorry... I didn't look that closely. Just scanned through the CSS.
