It's surprising Hervé's car didn't explode or something yet, considering the FO community

wtf turn html on nub

[DarkUnderlord]

Strangely enough, the "Allow HTML" setting IS on... Normally the code bypassed that anyway but it appears, in their wisdom, phpBB have changed something somewhere. In short: It's a feature, not a bug. I just have to figure out the best way to turn it off.

... and there we go. Seems it checks the one in your profile now and actually cares about that setting. I'll just remove it. HTML should be working as normal now (that is, in the news forum at least).
