what’s ur link?
HTML filters are normally managed by KSES not buddypress, but maybe there’s a new function that filters HTML.
There is an attribute_escape() call added to the content of the widget in 1.0.1, otherwise the widget poses as a potential security threat (unfiltered html).
You can remove the attribute_escape() call on line 42 of bp-core-widgets.php but you might be better off duplicating the widget and creating your own unfiltered version. You should be careful with this though.
Thanks for your quick response, Andy.
