I take it you mean the outgoing posts? This is something I haven't really spent much time on yet. But I agree, it's something that needs improving. I take the easy option at the moment and disable BB code & html for outgoing posts in the forum

As for incoming posts; there's not much else we can do with that. The posts that look bad in the forums look just as bad on usenet due to crap news clients or people posting using MS Outlook. I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to handle the dual format messages correctly though. I'll get on it
