Posting HTML code within forum posts is disabled here just as it does on nearly all other forums. The simple answer is that people can use malicious JavaScript code, they can forget to close a </b> tag which might screw up the rest of the site design, and so forth.

The following bbtags are supported:

[b] [/b] for bold
[i] [/i] for italic
[url=http://www.site.com]Text[/url] for a URL


It's pretty straightforward
