Text Formatting in PMs

10 years ago

I have no idea where else to post this question so I'll borrow this thread: How do you do italics in a PM?

<i> and [i] don't work, and neither does the weird <em> thing that shows up in the source on posts.

I'm fairly certain PMs don't allow that kind of styling.

You cant. All tags are parsed into escape sequences, which are then sent to the database before being display. Basically, tags won't work.

You have to use /OLD/ ways of showing the text stylings. Nothing can be actually *bold* or /italics/ or -strikethrough- or even this fancy dancy _underline_ bs. Keep it BCE in PMs - they're only little things.

To be fair though, its not hard to make it so that it can. Either dont take tags out, or take out all tags except links, pictures and style tags.
