Please enable HTML Across The Board

Curious. Which browser are you using?

Most often for GoC, Firefox/UBlock

Another vote for Enabling HTML across the board. Kind of annoying.

Why are we not allowed to embed HTML in certain forums, such as Off Topics, Prepping, and a few others? Given how tweets and social media posts make up an ever growing part of the news and discussions, it's a real PIA not being able to include them.

If any and all HTML was allowed, it would allow injecting all sorts of mayhem into this site. That's why. There's client side code via javascript and sucking in "include" code from remote sites. Entire libraries of code could be injected into a web page, and it would be a mess to sort out. Malware, spam, phishing, ransomware, bitcoin mining, you name it, it would happen. That's at the worst end of the scale. At the least end of badness, the format and display of the forums would be disturbed or defaced.

The question remains, why some but not others?
