[member=883]Elumina[/member] Thanks for the feedback! Here's a little more information on what we have going on with the templates right now.
I personally have tested HTML templates with <style> tags to get a feel of what it could possibly mean for a lot. Like you said, it is a risk and sometimes even undesirable. Overall though, I do enjoy the looks and feature of them w/ the style tags, despite the risk safety-wise. For the majority of the user base though? No. There's a lot of complexity compared to the simplicity of what we have now. Perhaps it'd be an alternative option for those who want it.
There's also something known as MyCode which can simulate templates if coded correctly. This is how we will be presumably transferring our current templates over if successful. We've had a ton of luck with it so far. The only problems? Templates must be closed (reasonably) with [ /div ]. Many users have not been ending their template, causing the conversion not to work. Another few things with backgrounds, especially background images, are out of whack. Otherwise it's been a nice choice for us.
