| | | Help with HTML tags in posts
I can't seem to get it to work. It just shows something like this: HTML Code: <a href="http://cal.vini.st/"><img alt="Cal.vini.st - A Blog Dedicated to Reformation Theology" src="http://cal.vini.st/images/lcb/calvinist_125x125.png" title="Cal.vini.st - A Blog Dedicated to Reformation Theology" border="0" width="125" height="125" /></a> |

Christian ritual costs nothing and is worth nothing. True Christian religion costs all that we have and is worth everything.

Two questions (perhaps for an Admin or Mod):
1. What is the purpose of the HTML tags if HTML can't be used in a post?
2. Why doesn't the above example that Larry sorted out also work in a user signature?
Thanks

The one that says "HTML Code is OFF"
That have some relationship to why HTML isn't working for you on this site.

HTML tags are purposefully not allowed in posts. It's a security issue. They're also unnecessary as everything you are allowed to do is covered with bb code.
