There have been security holes in the UBB which allow malicious things to be done with embedded Javascript. Turning off HTML (and possibly UBB Code images), and/or upgrading to the current version reduces the likelihood of this happening. Also, if an unauthorized person has access to the server or to the control panel, he could sneak script into the headers. It would also depend on the user's browser's security settings, etc. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.mindspring.com/~ndl/tmp/happy99_lb.gif)

I have NAV 2002 with all shields on, and I don't get any warnings from your boards.
