I don't remember exactly. Wasn't it someone's private hosting though, not a company? This time it seems like an actual hosting company.

It would be nice if the sig was temporarily removed so Omni doesn't get flagged as malicious site once again in Chrome

What I would suggest is just replacing img tags with url for now, since it comes from x10hosting. If it doesn't get fixed, then just remove the link later I guess. And yeah it was Themuncher.net or something.

It was fixed by SHmibs if I remember. THe signature contained an image hosted on an infected hosting provider, which is what gave the virus warnings.

Also apparently this started happening again according to Runer112 on almost every Omni page. Check the IRC logs from 9:50 AM GMT-5 for the URL

EDIT thanks juju:

(I assume it's another avatar or sig)

Maybe it's time to disable the [img] tag and offsite avatars linking entirely?   (jk)

Seeing as this happens more often nowadays (probably Avast getting too sensitive about off-site linked images in more recent versions), in the very worst case scenario, I wonder if at one point Omni could be forced to limit [img] so that it only works with trusted hosting sites, such as Removedfromgame, Tinypic, Imageshack and the various calc sites, same with avatars, or would that require heavy modification of the code?

It would be fairly simple to modify the code that parses the BBcodes to add a whitelist for img tags.

Edit: Also, X10host is a free no-ad hosting provider, so it's not going to attract the best people, it's more than reasonable they've got viruses.

By the way I have the same problem with Rhombicuboctahedron's avatar now >.<

Would there be a way to restrict avatar hotlinking to only a few sites, like RFG, Tinypic, Imageshack, Photobucket, etc if that start happening too often?
