none of the forums do allow html tags in sense he is talking about.
this (general) does not allow at all, whereas others do allow some.
to have your HTML allowed, look for postprep.
when you want to post code where there is onclick or similar, do remember to use either postprep or code-tags. otherwise board will complain and not allow your posting.

what comes to loosing your post, weird.
I do have the habit of screwing around and going back and forth before I click submit and it never disappears.
