== Article Text Filtering ==
 
 
In Joomla! 1.5.8, a default filtering choice is in place for those who have not selected an Article Filter option. The default applied for those who have not made a selection implements "black list" filtering as a security precaution against possible XSS.
 
 
Due to this change, you might notice problems trying to save a Youtube video, or embedding other Javascript or Flash objects into your Articles.
 
 
If the default filtering option is not suitable for your needs, you can change it by using the Article Global Configuration options. Instructions for this feature can be found by pressing the Help button when in the Article Manager, or by clicking [http://docs.joomla.org/Screen.content.15#Filtering_Options_.28HTML.29 this link].
 
 
 
== Contact Images ==
 
 
In Joomla! 1.5.8 images might not displaying on contact pages. This issue will be fixed in the next release (1.5.9), but until then here are the steps how you can fix it yourself:
 
 
1. Open components/com_contact/views/contact/tmpl/default.php with a text editor.
 
 
2. Find this line (line 52):
 
 
<source lang="php">
 
<?php echo JHTML::_('image', '/images/stories' . '/'.$this->contact->image, JText::_( 'Contact' ), array('align' => 'middle')); ?>
 
</source>
 
 
3. Change this line to the following and save the file:
 
 
<source lang="php">
 
<?php echo JHTML::_('image', 'images/stories' . '/'.$this->contact->image, JText::_( 'Contact' ), array('align' => 'middle')); ?>
 
</source>
 
 
A community member, Strats, [http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?p=1480142#p1480142 posted] the corrected file on the forum, so you can also download it there (registration is required on the forum to download files) and replace the original file with the new one.
