Important: You can not use HTML tags in any field for linking or formatting purposes. Any HTML tags are converted to their numeric ampersand equivalents of & " < and > . This protects the contents of everyone's posts from possible "live" execution of incorrectly-entered HTML code. For example: <B>Text</B> will be displayed as <B>Text</B> and not Text.
