Not-so-hidden hidden messages!

[Jens]

Everytime i post a message here, messages like this show up:

<!-- We request you retain the full copyright notice below including the link to http://www.phpbb.com. This not only gives respect to the large amount of time given freely by the developers but also helps build interest, traffic and use of phpBB 2.0. If you cannot (for good

knowing from HTML, <!-- means the beginning of a hidden message, right?

oh well, i just wanted to tell, because i wonder if i'm the only one getting these messages...

It's not unusual for any site or any pre-coded things to have hidden messages, it's kinda there to protect theft and copyright infringement.

I've gotten cut off hidden messages here before, but never with that message.

I've also been getting that a lot, but not every time I post a message. It doesn't seem to be a big problem so I think it's one of those minor details to be seen to later.

I haven't gotten any of those... Yes, <!-- means the beginning of a hidden message (usually called a comment). It should end with -->

[Lass]

The message is cut off so it wouldn't have to end with -->

And I've never gotten any of those before.

well.. i'm not really sure, but i thought that <!-- didn't work with PHP, knowing it doesn't work with XHTML... i don't know really...
