I learned a few minutes ago that --- despite the fact that VBulletin does not require scripts from Forumfoundry.com to run ( I have a friend who admins a couple of VBulletin boards ), for some reason the administrators here have decided that we must allow scripts from forumfoundry.com to run in order for posts to show correctly.
If you have "Noscript" enabled ( a firefox addon that helps protect your from some unwanted driveby downloads, etc. ), you will need to use HTML markup to show silly things like "carriage returns".
You will also not have all the options (text formatting, etc.) enabled when you make a post.
My question is, since I don't see this bit of privacy invading software running on my friend's VBulletin forums, why is it running here ---- more importantly, what information are you gleaning?
Do they log keystrokes or something? All of the other forums work well without that script. All formatting options are available all of the time. Just seems really weird that it affects how the board works.
