I wrote some HTML code for my banner on the forums.  For some odd reason it's not being taken.  By that I mean <marquee> and <form> are simply ignored.  I've tested the same code on my Raspberry Pi server and the HTML displays fine.  Is there something I'm missing that you have to do for this site particularly or what?  Here's the code below...

Code Select
<html>
<body>
<br>
<font size = "5" face = "Georgia" color = "#FF9933">
<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left">Rawarar!</marquee>
<div align = "center">
<marquee direction="down" width="250" height="20" behavior="alternate" style="border:solid">
  <marquee behavior="alternate">
    Other places online!
  </marquee>
</marquee>
<br><a href="http://www.furaffinity.net/user/alphathew0lf">FUR AFFINITY</a>
<br><a href="http://www.twitter.com/alphawuffeh">TWATTER</a>
<br><form action = "http://www.hahgay.com" method = "post">
<input type = "submit" value = "GAY!"></input>
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>

I've tested this in Chromium, Firefox, Midori and Konqueror.  If you go to my profile now, you can see how it looks.  Anyone know why it's displayed like this?

The marquee element was proprietary to IE originally, and has seen little usage in modern web development. It is seen by the W3C as a negative for usability, and a distraction. I am boiling down to the point that the HTML ability for your profile was meant as a minor form of freedom for advanced users, when bbcode was not around for the styles they desired. It should certainly not allow forms and other such advanced HTML (which can be malicious!) Don't you think it would fall out of line for a simple profile customisation? It was likely turned off by default for the greater good.

You said this so much nicer than I was about to.

Alpha, are you trolling us?  Seriously? :P

God yes I hate marquees with a passion but I enjoy being obnoxious in the header.  Well, simple customization is boring and lame!  I was going to embed looping music on my profile! xD
