Re^6: INS, DEL, Q tags now allowed in posts (drop Q)

I think Q should be removed from the list of allowed tags. We shouldn't be encouraging people to use HTML that isn't well supported for our audience.

Er, I added it without reviewing the support for it. I figured if its a legal tag and doesnt present security issues then its ok. I can see that you have a point however so if you want it removed just reply saying so and Ill take care of it. However i think its worth considering that we can just use CSS to emphasize it for IE users. Ie, I have q { font: italic; } in my personal CSS so i can see the content as I often browse with IE. It doesnt quote them properly but it does make them stand out enough that I dont see much of an issue leaving them in. Its not like they are in widespread use anyway. shrug --- demerphq _{First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. -- Gandhi}	[reply]
