Hey! Long time no post. I have a new question regarding the security of a new site I am building. How difficult would it be to add an option to allow URL avatars while prohibiting URLs from outside the domain? I have two sub domains, the forums on one, and an avatar generator on another. The rest is self explanitory. Thanks!

It leaves too much room for holes IMO, there are no plans to add such functionality into the stock FUDforum.

There is possibility of someone injecting XSS onto a trusted domain allowing them to then inject JS code via avatars into forum page potentially leading to session take over.
