why aren't we allowed to use HTML in posts? mayba a [dohtml] tag or something. it would help me format the posts the way I want without having to use this primative [whatever] code
It was for moderating purposes mostly. I also realize that any decent message board would make efforts to keep it from being messed with via HTML in posts if allowed.yomamma said:oh. I had a board with html, it seemed to work out fine. I don't see why you wouldn't allow images though...
yomamma said:bulleted lists, numbered lists, a code that isn't confusing to me, using character entities, and some other stuff
Quote her post to see.yomamma said:lots of things. dropdown lists too. how did you do those lists moonbear?
HTML is not allowed in posts to maintain consistency in the appearance and functionality of the website. Allowing HTML in posts can lead to a cluttered and inconsistent design, making it difficult for users to navigate and use the website. Additionally, HTML can be used maliciously to harm the website or its users, so restricting its use helps to protect the website's security.
No, HTML is not allowed in posts for customizing content. The website has a specific design and layout that should be followed for a cohesive user experience. If you would like to customize your content, you can use the formatting options provided by the website's text editor.
No, allowing HTML in posts will not improve your website's SEO. Search engines look for relevant and high-quality content, not HTML code. In fact, using excessive HTML can negatively affect your website's SEO by making it difficult for search engines to crawl and index your content.
There may be some exceptions for using HTML in posts, such as for embedding videos or social media posts. However, these exceptions are usually handled through specific plugins or embedding options provided by the website, rather than allowing users to directly input HTML code.
No, the decision to not allow HTML in posts is determined by the website's administrators and developers. It is done to maintain the overall design and functionality of the website, as well as to ensure the security of the website and its users. If you have a specific request or suggestion, you can reach out to the website's support team for further assistance.
