How do you turn HTML on? I try and turn it on, and it just says bbcode is on, but HTML is off. I turn BBcode off. bbcode is off, html is off. I can't get HTML turned on. WHY!?

Only a board administrator can turn on HTML. Here's how to become an admin:
  1. Sign up for a PHP/MySQL hosting contract with a web hosting company, or sign up for a DSL service that allows home servers and then use XAMPP to install PHP and MySQL on your computer.
  2. Install phpBB on your web space.
  3. Test the phpBB installation thoroughly.
  4. Mention your phpBB site in passing on other boards.

wasn't that a smidge harsh?

Just explaining that allowing messages to be
too marked up is annoying for some, and it can also
be a security risk (I think) would be enough explanation.

I don't mean any insult towards either of the posters above me :).
