Okay, so. I'm not computer savvy really. I know how to get certain things to work and how to do basic maintenance. I know the poll thing Sean and Black did way back when was caused by IFrames. What allows a gif image to cause such craziness (and what can be done to prevent it)?

Firefox allows it or Firefox prevents it?

If it prevents it... well, that's what I'm running and it didn't work.

Maybe you have an addon or something I don't.

I thought NoScript caught most stuff like that, but I had no idea .gifs could do that. :V

It's nothing to do with scripts. This board uses an outdated form of data passing. Namely, it changes state with GET variables. This means any URL can change your shit or post threads.

Your browser automatically follows the URL when it open an image...

Okay, so if you don't mind me asking, why do you feel the consistent need to point out the board's software's flaws? I think it's pretty obvious Drysart isn't going to update them any time soon, and more than likely would just assume shutting them down versus going though a ton of shit to do an upgrade.

I guess what I'm trying to say is: I don't understand why you hold so much contempt for this board. What gives?

Also, browsers automatically doing any downloading without permission is stupid. what the crap

It's more like, realizing a new thing that would be kinda funny. And then telling Gains. And Gains decides to do it. It's not like I sit around thinking this shit up.

You're right, it should ask you if you want to load. Every. Single. Image. On the page.

No, that's dumb.

More like there should be something that allows me to allow certain websites to load images.

essentially noscript for images, yeah.

and it still wouldn't work anyway because it's a link to evercrest.

eh?

The gif image you guys posted was on gains.unsmith.com, which I then suppose sent data/looped a link to post a thread on EC.

Blocking that image wouldn't prevent anything?

You don't "get it". It doesn't send anything. It's the URL it follows that causes it. Gains' webhosting was redirecting you to a different URL (think of images you get when you hotlink a picture from somewhere that doesn't support it)

You can get the same effect by using [ img] http://forums.evercrest.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=submit_new_topic&f=1&topic_subject=touch%20fuzzy&msg_icon=23&message=get%20dizzy[/img]

Alright, I think I've "got it" now.

Essentially, it's like linking an image off of SA. You think you're posting an image, but instead you're posting a giant picture of a badly hurt penis. (Or at least that used to be the substitution image used.)

Or whatever, I get the gist of what causes it now. Thanks.

I figured it wasn't similar, and was more than likely very outdated.

Doesn't matter, this particular flaw is inherent to UBB like Waisz said, and can't be fixed without some actual code modification.

One drastic solution is to turn images off in your browser. But that's just no fun.
