Use HTML in phpBB – Especially for YouTube
One of the most famous free community making tools – phpBB doesn’t allow HTML code after its version 3.0.
We can use HTML code after setting several options in phpBB’s Administrator Control Panel (= ACP) in version 2.xx but it have been totally disabled to use for security reasons.
So we have to make our own BBCode instead of using original HTML.
(See here : BBCode guide)

: Please be sure not to use parameter ‘{SIMPLETEXT}’ used there. phpBB 3.0 can’t understand that. Use ‘{TEXT}’ instead. I have suffered some problem with this. 🙂
