Today's updates are a little less exciting unless you are using Apple products.

iOS Attachments

If you are using an Apple product and have been having trouble with attachments to your forum posts, we just posted a fix that should resolve that issue.

iframe Tags No Longer Supported

iframes can be dangerous, because they are basically a window into another website. Allowing people to use iframes in posts here could be a total disaster, if some nefarious character wanted to use them to hack or spam us. So I've removed support for iframes. We do have security protocols in place to help fight those issues, but it's getting to be too much of a risk.

Besides, there's better ways to share stuff. For example, it used to be that you would copy/paste an iframe tag from YouTube when you wanted to embed a video in the forum -- now, you just paste the share URL that YouTube provides and the forum automagically embeds the video into your post. We also support auto-embeds from other popular providers. It's like magic! (and much more secure) 🙂

Various bug fixes

We also destroyed a few other random bugs and error messages.
