For security reasons the new SE is not as forgiving with the HTML it allows in comments, posts, messages, and profiles. In order to avoid making a mess of your comment/post/etc I put together this sandbox so that you can test what you would like to post beforehand. I'm also including a list of the whitelist we are currently using. Also, you may notice iframes are not on the list, this affects things like youtube and vimeo videos. The <SELINK> tag should take care of most of those sites. It's confirmed working with youtube and vimeo. More to come ;)
If you think I've left something off that can be added while still maintaining a secure environment feel free to message me and let me know and I'll be happy to consider it. Thanks, steele
