We have reported this bug to phpbb bugtraq and:
phpBB Team respone :
- --------------------
...
we do not intended to fix the previous issue in 2.0.19 (it was just
preventing it by the quote change, which was good - but we intended this
change
because of other forseeable issues) - and i do not intend to fix this one.
HTML is and was always "bad" and has been stated as being
able to be entered "as is". In olympus we will therefore remove html
support completely
...
- --------------------
So Solusion is:
phpBB Team respone :
- -------------------
I already said we will fix it in CVS but do not see the need to release a
new version immediatly.
- -------------------
So there is no fix for this .
Only way to protect is :
Allow HTML = Off
