Forum markdown doesn't seem to work correctly

As far as I know, we can use style tag in markdown to get a text decorated. This works in preview, but not in actual post:

Yeah, this may have been disabled as a blanket security thing - rather than specifically disable tags like <script> they probably just disable all tags

...just yesterday I used the < script > (with no spaces between angle brackets and tag word), and the rest of the post was not displayed... on Edit, it was still there though...

Hmm... that's a bit odd. What happens when you look at it with the web browser's 'inspector'? Is there a script tag there?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
