Allowing HTML in forum
I was wondering why HTML isn't allowed in the forums. Many of the other forums I have been on have allowed it with no problems that I saw. Is there a particular reason? It would make it easier to embed videos and animation in a post for people to view instead of having to click a link to view in an outside page. It's no big deal really. Like I said, I am just curious.

Allowing user entered HTML would open security holes (XSS attacks and similar) and it would create possibility to to break the site layout.
