HTML/CSS/JS Thread Designs

What I'm suggesting:
-Be able to put in website code/files as well as images for threads

Why I think It'd be beneficial:
-Thread designs will become more interactive and user-friendly (because of buttons, etc)
-People can use their website for their thread design if they already have one
-People won't have to spend money on both a thread design & a website
-People won't have to re-direct their thread to their website

Restrictions:
-Only be able to use code/upload files up to a certain file size - or only have a certain number of HTML/CSS/JS threads you can own.
(Maybe this should be a feature just for Supreme members as it will take more power to run all the threads if it were to be implemented)

Let me know what you think.

Well, not to mention that XSS attacks would be a real issue if it wasn't implemented correctly, and the fact that most websites also utilize JavaScript alongside it (so not bare HTML/CSS), so they would need to be parsed out (and probably lose most of the functionality of the page anyway).

Just isn't needed in my view, and could open up many unforeseen security issues. We've already seen that simply from allowing external images (to track users I mean).

Just take a screenshot of your site, and add a redirect to the image. Best solution IMO.

Thanks for the detailed insight.
I think that the forum could work around these issues, but it would take quite a while. Totally understand your point.

I imagine it would be best to simply make everything you’d use into BBCode.

For sure, yeah.
I'll shut the thread, thanks.
