I'm not aware of other forums with tags, but that doesn't mean there are none (or hacks to it)! Check the module descriptions, it will probably be showed in the feature list.
For the moment CBB 4.0 is not to be used in production systems. Be patient!
If tags are a real must for you, feel free to take the plunge, but don't whine afterwards.

Are you talking of nesting the BBcode img tags in an Url tag (see this)?
What is your XOOPS version? What was entered in the editor and what was the html result (view source in navigator)?

sd228hk, welcome on the XOOPS forum!

Depending on the permissions on your host (unknown to me), creating a database for use with XOOPS may be a four step process (with eg phpMyAdmin).
- Create a database (with eg charset UTF-8)
- Create a database user
- Associate user and database
- Give rights to the user.
You need then to enter the following in the fields:
As hostname, localhost will mosttimes work.
The database name as used in step 1.
The username and password as used in step 2.

No gain, without drain!
It is possible to tighten the module to tidy, which may lead to discomfort for some users.
But in general the module is doing a great job and still indispensible.
How much discomfort will be there for all the users, if the site gets hacked or flooded with SPAM?
A little 'collateral damage' or some 'deads on friendly fire' seems acceptable, altough every one is one too many.

IP banning is like the dead penalty, but it is one of the most effective ways to stop further attacking. If you would have a setting, like the dos setting to exclude modules from it, but then to allow a module under all cicumstances, you could eg allow always the contact us module. So users could always give feedback on their problem. But I'm afraid that would make the Protector module total useless on both the security (Full XOOPS with one module loaded exposed) and SPAM (abuse of the form).
No matter how you turn it, hackers and spammers degrade the interactive internet and it will always be a delicate and fine balance between the two evils: user friendliness with no barriers and useless, or usefull and user unfriendly due to the security measures. As example take a guestbook, one where everyone can post by filling a field and push a button or one where you have to fill in a captcha or need to login.

But I agree, XOOPS should have some of the protection mechanisms of itself and not have to rely on a module.
But for the time being, I can only recommend to use the module. Check regulary its logs and correlate it with the Apache logs and adapt the settings in case of problems.

is supposed to be entered in the field before the button with the image manager, while editing the block.
What is the html result, if you use this code in eg a forum post or an article news text.
The example above should show a smilie (you can use also the one of your site).

Should it be that dreadful CaricaFoto?
Go to /class/textsanitizer/image/config.php and find

Try once by setting both to 0.

Suzanne, welcome to the XOOPS forum!

Quote:XOOPS can here, on this site, be downloaded for free (see home page), but maybe other services where in the package.

For your question, if you are asking how an administrator could send mail to the subscribed users, you will find it in the admin section - users - send mail. There you can select among the various groups.

Which version are you using?

Is this on the site of your signature?
Looks fine to me in FF 3.0.8.
Maybe a problem with the video player?
Have articles with only text the same problem?
