HTML -- sometimes on, sometimes off?

[haiiro]

Why is it that HTML functionality is sometimes turned off when posting a new thread or reply?

My assumption has always been that it happens when the boards are at their busiest, because turning HTML off places less demands on the system. I have no idea if this is accurate or not, so I thought I'd ask.

Thanks in advance.

I'll give this one *nudge* back to the top, because I'm still curious about the answer. After that, "He's dead, Jim."

Odd; I remember responding to this thread. Maybe I only thought I responded?

Check the forum you're in. Most likely, it's turned off for some forums and on for others.

OK: it's on in this one, on in General, and off in House Rules. I'd swear that sometimes I can use HTML in House Rules, but I'll have to try at another time to be sure.

Assuming it is just a quirk of each particular forum, though, why have it be on in some and off in others?

the IMG tag is disabled in TtT but on in PtG, too. I don't get it.

HTML disabled in house rule ? It's the only forum where I have an use for it (and this use being, using the < table > tags to have a custom class displayed properly).
