VB code works if it's turned on. It's not as snappy as HTML code but it works. It would let you format text. But I have to agree it would make things messy if taken to an extreme. But as for Html let me put it like this>>>
Ok one more time with feeling. HTML makes a forum vunerable to HTML hacks and attacks. If you turn it on malicious code can be introduced in to the forum software and it's game over.
I feel David is trying to be tactful by saying what he did. I won't be so polite.
If you turn on HTML you're asking for major league trouble.
It's a security risk most forum operater/owners rather not take.
