I too am having this Issue.

HTML is enabled both in the Admin CP as well as the User CP at least in regards to Myself. I haven't had My Members do so yet in Their Preferences tab as I am trying to get it working for Them. That said - It is not working for My Forum with the current Instructions provided VIA Link. I have accomplished the Listed Tasks as per the Linked Instructions about Enabling HTML but alas - No Joy as of yet.

Any assitance given to Me here would be greatly appreciated...I thank You for Your time.

Before trying anything else, just check -

The best way to compose an html enabled post, or any post containing media, is to first 'preview' the post to see how it looks. This preview WILL contain all the raw code so that you can edit it if needed, but below it will be how the post will look on your forum. When you hit 'send' (after all your editing), the code bit should disappear.

Yep - I did that. No worries I have found the solution.

Users must have up to date Versions of Adobe Shockwave Player as well as Adobe Flash Player additional to the Instructions about Enabling HTML in the ACP and the Users CP.

Once those 4 condtions are met its - Happy Happy Joy Joy...

TY for Your reply and assistance...
