Foolish Question about HTML in thread posts

[ChrisG.]

Isn't there a setting somewhere to allow the use of HTML in a thread post?

Not that I want to leave the forum open to it for users, but as the board owner/admin, I'd like to be able to use HTML in my own posts.

As the administrator, do I have the power to do this, and if so how?

Sorry, I realize this is probably a straight forward thing, or something that has been asked and answered a dozen times. But unfortunately, trying to do a thread search for "HTML" returns six-zillion results, as almost every other thread has HTML mentioned in it somewhere.

Thanks for any assistance.
