How to Use HTML in Posts With phpBB
Found This Helpful
Using HTML in a phpBB forum post gives you extra ways to format your message, change how text displays and even embed video files. In PhpBB v.3, HTML functionality is disabled and has been replaced with BBCode. Older versions, such as PhpBB v.2, allow HTML to be enabled through the Administration Control Panel (ACP). If you are not the administrator of the forum you must request that he enables HTML posting for you.

Tips & Warnings
- In phpbb v.3 the option to enable HTML posting has been disabled for security purposes. You can add BBCodes to replace HTML tag functionality by clicking the ACP, click "Posting", click "Add a new BBCode". Enter a BBCode and its HTML replacement. Alternatively, you can search online for 3rd party 'HTML code' mods that you can install to add HTML functionality.
- Be careful when allowing HTML tags as incorrectly used HTML can damage your forum and even the server.
