Enable HTML code within Video Descriptions

Shouldn't be too difficult to implement, but I thought it'd be nice to have access to HTML code and commands within our Video descriptions. It's already enabled on our profiles.

It'd be real nice to have stuff like the "bold" command (<B>) to point out things of importance like spoilers or things that might help reviewers (like something you really want them to know before watching) and also to be able to include links to things like inspirations, pictures used, etc. I know you could put the link anyway, but having the "blue" tags and so on would really draw attention.

I hope my assumptions that it wouldn't be that difficult to implment are correct and I think it'd be something pretty useful. I for one write very long video descriptions and would love to highlight key points.

Stupid mods not even fixing my post even though I used the "MOD Drop Box."

Maybe I should message phade later tonight since that's a more convenient way to bounce ideas

You could use caps lock or asterisks for emphasis... although some people don't like caps lock and asterisks get in the way... but yeah, html code would make video information better. it would be cool to have image source links so that the viewers can see previews of the amv to check out video quality and digital effects before downloading.

Depends on if Phade were to write it or if I were to
