how to formate forum messages?
what is this forum machine? is this machine different from wiki? does it be possible to bring message in form (in the forum / in the wiki: are the methods different? what are the right methods?)

Here, I've respectively tried BBCode, HTML and Markdown, but only the second one is recognized. It however has no effect.
Physical HTML tags seem to be of no use here. HTML Tags like strong, em (in place of b and i, respectively) seem to work, though (What were they called again? Logical tags?).
For example:
Genesis topped a country's chart with their second album.
Maybe the forum doesn't support formatting because it's linked with a mailing list (That's mentioned in the forum top page) and since it's better to avoid HTML text for mail, it's possible that formatting was intentionally disabled on the forum as well to have a consistent view (So that neither forum nor mailing list users see formatted text). That doesn't explain why it's allowed for the tags that davidnotcoulthard mentioned, however.
Regards.
Perhaps physical tags are just going obsolete. They stopped working on f1fanatic.co.uk some time ago as well.
