I've just noticed that you posted this message in 5 different groups of this forum. This group is intended for introducing yourself, not to promote certain websites or blogs. Promoting websites is forbidden, according to the forum rules.

How did he get the javascript to display Google ads into his post or signature? That's scary. He could do a cross site scripting (XSS) exploit with that. Or are you HAF admins fooling around?

Dohboy, I deleted two of the threads you started to spam your blog, I am also going to be removing the hyperlinks so you don't get the rank boost.  I know you were already warned about the spam by another  mod.

All posts at the top of each page have google ads.

Java, html etc won't work in posts unless I allow it by using a BBcode work around.

Okay I see all the top posts have ads now. Fair enough. My concern was that the poster had somehow got it in there. All kinds of mischief are possible by injecting script into a someone else's site. But I'm sure you know that Whitney =).

Yes, that's actually why phpbb by default doesn't allow script to work in the forum.  If there weren't bad people in the world we wouldn't have to worry about it.
