Because shout is quite vulnerable to colour links, so if you will not check manually, you won't catch it :P

This seems to be a more reasonable approach. Should be able to filter [color] anytime when set inside of [url] out. Could set some rules like suspend user if criteria is met, or flag shout, or omit [color] etc.

Ref: PHP Function str_replace

Crafty little buggers, I noticed a spike in forum post activity as well on our site.

My theory is you can use !important via the css style for the "<a>" tag.

a { color: blue !important; }


Simple hack.

Modyfying the css would only have effect on this site. But you have to secure the shoutbox for everyone who uses PHP-F on his site.

Subject Website Security
Websites are becoming more popular these days. It will be wrong to say that websites are now just some source of information, with advancement in web-technologies all applications are now developed for Web.
Your site is hacked and you will not realize it until you get a google warning, which can take 5-6 hours when google crawls your site. This figure depends on how often Google Crawls your site. You clean the site and submit to Google for review and it takes around 10-12 hours to remove the blacklisting warning.
