wow interesting i love the intrigue of it all. if it's really such a security issue, i think i might only enable IncludeUrl for groups (in config.php) after the owner of the group specifically requests it (i have a site where each group is a different person, with their own login info)... and then, for all cases where someone hasn't yet requested it be enabled, i can maybe create an equivalent markup for (:includeurl ... :) that posts a note like "please contact [email protected] if you would like to enable the IncludeUrl markup"... thanks for the advice, adam
