Is it possible to allow only certain members post HTML formatted posts?

Not with the current code as far as I know. I haven't seen this request before either so I don't think there are any MODs for it.

you would have to go thru and edit the code to do this. If this is something that you need done, then email me at brad@eznetideas.com and maybe we can work something out and I will edit the forum for you.

I would be happy to have a go at edditing it myself. I was just wondering if a MOD had been created to do it easily.
Thank you anyway,
Matthew F

Is it possible to allow only the forum administrator to post HTML formatted posts? This way, the admin would be able to include advanced post with interaction possibilities and external hosted images, and still not have the forum interrupted by anyone’s virus like html code.

This is a good idea. It is not available with the current code. You would need to modify the code to achieve it.

No, it isn't set up that way currently.
You can use externally hosted images already.
Here's an example:

Some sites prohibit you from using externally linked images, like GeoCities.

Well I'm very interested in this type of mod as I would like even just admin to be able to use html in their messages. Can anyone help me with what bits of the code I need to edit.

A bit of a kludge, but should work.
Look for this line in inc_top.asp

mLev = cint(chkUser(strDBNTUserName, Request.Cookies(strUniqueID & "User")("Pword")))

Immediately after that line, add the following


if (mLev = 3 or mLev = 4) then
  strAllowHTML = 1
end if

This would give moderators and Admins HTML On in posts. To restrict to Admins only just remove the mLev = 3 part.
BTW What user level is mLev = 2 ??

I believe mlev 2 is the original author of the topic or reply.
