    For those of you who are wondering why you can't add links to your posts, hang in there.

    I've temporarily disabled the plugin that adds rich text editing to this forum, because it was throwing a JavaScript error. Hopefully I'll get this resolved tonight.

    Thanks for your patience!

    OK I've turned HTML formatting back on. It comes with a clean-up and does a half-decent job of closing open tags. But it's not perfect. We'll see how we go.

    I took the liberty of fixing up the links to previous comments that were posted before HTML formatting was available.

    Markdown is another way to go. For some examples of what you can do with it and a link to the Markdown syntax page, visit my Vanilla install.

    Thanks Doug, I'll have a think about using Markdown. The HTMLFormatter plugin for Vanilla doesn't get it quite right every time.

    Just a quick question about the html formatting on the forum mattymcg...

    I've tried using it on my posts create proper links to sites but my posts end up being about 50% font size. Is this due to the CSS in the site? I was using the <p> tags to format my replies btw.

    Should I wrap a <span style="font:2em"> around it? Or, just hang tough with <br />?

    You don't need the paragraph tags - that would be causing some inheritence issues I imagine, which is why the text would have been small.

    Just use linefeeds for paragraphs breaks, as if the message was going to be plain text, then wrap any links in elements. The carriage returns/linefeeds are converted to paragraphs on the fly.
