You have always been able to type html in a product description or review in photopost products we do not parse the html though. In Reviewpost we added the ability to parse the html. Now if you wish to strip html from a review you can remove tags you wish to allow in the un_htmlspecialchars function at the top of pp-inc.php thats all I can tell ya as this would not be an issue with
vb or really an issue. I could type paragraph tags in any version of
vb. I have
vb 3.6 and can type a review like that with ease using html in the review.
