    Basically, what this does is it give users who are allowed custom user titles the ability to use specified HTML tags. Permissions set via the ACP. For instance, if you want users to be able to change the font or color of the text, you would allow the <span> tag via ACP.

    Just thought it would be a nice little addition. Not very important.

    HTML in Custom User Titles

    EDIT: Just verified this works with the span tag. The reason I wasn't using the tags given automatically after installing the add-on is because they are mostly, if not all, deprecated. Therefore the span tag was a better solution as you can change your font, font-weight, and a lot more.

    HTML can be exploitable if used by non-staff, which is my only concern here. I'm not sure if XenForo has the same or similar option, but vBulletin has an HTML setting that's off by default -- they even strongly recommend you keep it that way -- because HTML can be dangerous in the wrong hands.

    I'm going to have to say no.

    I'd say yes cause it's awesome but over the nearly 6 years I've been on this forum, this has come up multiple times and always received a swift no.

    We generally reward members during certain events with HTML usertitles of their choice from a selection we create, so it's almost like a perk when people win something. For that reason, and reasons stated by the other gents above me, I lean towards a no as well, y'know?

    This essentially, we haven't really taken advantage of the possibility just yet (save for the Keyblade Master/Tea Party King & Queen) images, but I'd like to save it as a perk or reward.

    It was just a suggestion. And like I said, HTML tags would be limited to whatever gets set via ACP.

    Cool. Maybe we could have a competition every so often where the users get to choose their own special user titles. That way even regular members could partake.
