Enable HTML

It's nice we can [imgur]x[ /imgur] but why not allow us to use full html?

I wanted to embed an imgur album smaller than the regular width="100%" height="550" but it looks like that's not possible, correct me if I'm wrong.

Adding basic html arguments to the existing functions would be enough I guess but simply enabling html would be far better.

Because permitting HTML is a security risk. Once you enable HTML, any number of JavaScript, XSS, PHP, and many other exploits become easily accessible. Filtering entered HTML for dangerous content is a much more taxing load on a server than simply not permitting it in the first place. By only permitting some HTML objects through the use of BBCode, it's basically a zero-load filter that prevents unsafe code being executed on the forums.

I suspected as much. In that case would it be possible to implement resizing of some sort? Like [imgur width=50%]x[/imgur]. Although I guess it's probably not worth it since hardly anyone would use it except maybe for some oversized images.

Thanks for the reply.

I can't see any reason why that wouldn't be possible. sal_vager or KasperVld would know for sure, though.

I thought the albums rescaled anyway....

They do. theendr wants the ability to make the embed element smaller than it is by default. AFAIK, currently it's impossible to put two side by side, or make them smaller at all... although... it might be possible to botch together a solution using a table -- if you insert a table with invisible borders, then insert an album into each cell, it should (hopefully) auto-arrange them for you. You can freely change the width that way, too.

Not sure how imgur's code would handle that, but it's worth a shot.

Yep, the table solution should work. Thanks.
