Hi, I've just successfully upgraded from 2.5 to 3.13 and I have to say it's worth it with all the new features! The only minor problem I have is that with 2.5 I could paste HTML into the category descriptions. After upgrading I'm not seeing links properly. An example is at this category where I'm trying to make the anchor text read "ciw" in this category description:

http://www.clickfire.com/directory/12

with this HTML:

ciw

Am I doing something wrong or is it still possible to use HTML in the category descriptions? Thanks, Emory

HTML is a usergroup permission now. Edit your usergroup in the admin panel to check the 'can use html' box.

Setting all member groups to Can Use HTML didn't have any impact. I even typed in again manually the code:

ciw

but when I look in the source, it's outputting:

http://www.clickfire.com/ciw/";>ciw

Maybe the auto-linking-urls feature interferes with it, though it hasn't when I use WSN Codes. Of course, using a WSN Code could be a better idea for a simple task like a link anyhow.
