Hi.

As it is commercial software, I guess it is Paul's task to bug them about new features. I am only using it a a end user, but am not running a copy of it by any stretch of imagination. Also I didn't pay for it. I am only making and seconding the wish some (I would even say _many_) others have already expressed: Reenable HTML in posts. I Just added alternative solutions I would recognize as being sufficient.
Honestly, I didn't see many problems (if any at all) with HTML in posts, but I have seen many problems since it was disabled. I know that there is a (theoretical) possibility of exploiting server and/or client bugs with HTML in posts, but as far as I know, no such attempt was made on this board until now. Also, UBBThreads bugs might still be exploited with HTML being disabled, and the same is probably true for browser side. So far, I don't really see a reason why it was disabled in the first place.

cu,
sven
