More html for forums, pls

Hihi, I was wondering if there were more html tags we could use to change our text for the forums & discussion boards. I only know so many, but so far underlining doesn't work, and font size changes showed up in a post preview but didn't carry through to the final post (actually, I should have bug reported that...). 
A list of all available commands could be posted someplace (perhaps the encyclopedia), or more could be implemented (I would really love to underline stuff). Also, commands specific to formatting would be cool (I would love to make tables and neat listy things).

  • While I think your suggestion is well thought-out (list of commands and such) I actually really don't like this idea.  I love things being more or less visually uniform.  People have been able to use available formatting to delineate sections of long posts, and on other forums (and probably not hugely applicable here, but may be when the game gets tons more users) I've seen it go crazy and where you'd just rather give up reading the forums entirely, when a bunch of people all want to shout things in big red letters or get all cute and tiny gray-on-a-white-background-I-can't-actually-read-this.

  • Hooray for the blink tag.

    And sigs, and animated gifs in sigs and. . . .

    . . . yikes!

    Maybe not.

  • Wow, I totally forgot I posted this. I totally agree with both of you in that giant red letters and GIFs and all that crap are a big no-no, what I meant is just a *few* more html commands. Simple stuff that doesn't disrupt the visual linearity of discussions, such as underlines, maybe a +/- 1 font size, tabs and white space formatting. Really, I can't see how just those things would be any worse than if someone made an entire post in bold or italics.
