If he's talking about using html to give text an aura around them (see the online indicators at my forum, then either they'd have to enable html (which could lead to a lot of nasty side effects) or work out some sort of vBcode in some way. Either way I'd imagine it would quickly become overused and annoying.

Whoops, didn't notice that html is already enabled.

Looks like someone wrote in pencil on one side of a piece of paper and then did an etching on the other.

An example, such as mine, should be enough proof that glow text is a bad idea.

Oh the horror, the horror...
Just saw how it works at work where we use IE 
Any site that uses this will go on my blacklist, together with sites that use embedded music and tags like "blink" or "marquee"...
Man, is that ugly!

Do marquee or work on 'Poly?
edit: Oh dear lord spare us. Blink does not, so I left the HTML in. Think about it.

Why? It was more fun to see my sig move. I also hoped it would affect the next posters text, which I couldn't determine. Did it?
