A few years ago, the Answerbank supported HTML codes such as <b> and </b> for bold text, <i> and </i> for italicises, and <u> and </u> for underlined text.

Are there any plans to reinstate this? 

If we are able to create posts with emphases, it would lead to a reduction in what I can only describe as 'misplaced antagonism'.

I post this in the 'News' section, because this is where all the hep cats hang out (and has the second largest demographic on Answerbank).

He did say it was on the list.
Might have been better off in suggestions or ed's blog my love... I'm going to report you now for not being on topic ;oP
I used them alot back on the old AB, and the coloured font and the bold font, we're the improved AB now though, we have errrr, other stuff
I'm just posting so that I can be considered a "hep cat" ;o)
The html was badly abused a couple of years ago, messing AB up.

It is EASY to emphasise WORDS AND PHRASES without html!!!!

L@@k lol
I don't mind bold or italics but the ideas of different colours all over the place makes my eyes start to ache in anticipation.
there were only about 20 colours, if that
Im not fond of html codes, purely because they were abused heavily in the past.
How were they abused?
whole topic pages were left bold and underlined, it used to give me a headache
and whole pages in italics.. and spilling outside of the text boxes.
What's html???
Oh yeah...sometimes by mistake. I thought that was one of the reasons they stopped it. To try and fix it.
As has already been pointed out

Capitals

Simple
using capitals is akin to shouting
DON'T YOU THINK? ;o)
Yes...it's considered rude.
Says who?
General forum etiquette.. You type a whole thing in capitals then it's considered shouting and rude. But I don't think the odd word in capitals for emphasis would hurt.
SAYS ME

and ummmm :o)
