All,
I havent tested this percieved error completely, as I didnt want to accidentally take down the site. I did notice that when a user types HTML comment tags into the CB, they are not parsed out. I was able to make text dissappar by typing <!-- whoa --> and whoa didnt show up. The CB just had a blank line for my last entry. Looking at the sourcecode of the page shows that the comment tags did show up. If one were to type an opening comment tag (<!--) then one could wipe out all html below the comment line, rendering the page invisible.

Not sure how to fix this without parsing every entered line in the CB, but I just wanted to bring it to someones attention before it became a problem. Also not sure if someone had mentioned it before.
