    You have a good replacement instead: BB code. And anyway, HTML is a leak of security because anyone could write JavaScripts into the postings which do something that is unacceptable.

    correct - security and to help prevent screwy formatting to occur because of mis-use or inappropriate use. For example, if HTML were allowed and I were to stick something like </table> into my post, the entire formatting of the forum display with that post could be trashed.
