Rock Chalk Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Since not everyone has a watch on the Announcements forum, I want to alert you to a post that was just now made there. It details an upcoming change (effective February 2) when support for HTML and UBB in geocaching logs will be removed in favor of Markdown. You can read more about the change in the forum post or in this Help Center article. Link to comment
+dprovan Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I love the way they start by pooh-poohing the impact by saying it "only" effects 3.5% of the logs, but then when they get down to the defense of not changing the logs automatically, they have to admit that it's well over half a billion logs.

It details an upcoming change (effective February 2) when support for HTML and UBB in geocaching logs will be removed in favor of Markdown. You can read more about the change in the forum post or in this Help Center article. So let me get this straight. This change is driven by security concerns, but yet only a small number of logs use HTML/UBB. How about cache listing pages? Seems to me that the number of cache listing pages using HTML is greater than the logs. So if your concerned about security why didn't you start with cache listing pages? Link to comment
