@help why doesn’t html I use in a reply behave the same way as html I use in an original post on the MB timeline?

@JohnPhilpin Replies are usually just short text, so HTML isn't supported because we found it just causes confusion or weird markup problems when someone uses ">" in a reply. I think we may want to adjust this behavior though... It does create new problems not being consistent with what is supported in blog posts.

@help I’m in favor of making it identical. And hadn’t it been for the very likely misuse, I’d like photos in replies too.

@odd Photos are already possible in replies using Markdown. So misuse away. 😇

@sod I keep forgetting that you have to use Markdown syntax in replies, and wondering why the img tag doesn’t work.

@sod Nope. I just got the alt text. How do you do it, then?

@artkavanagh, I think you're doing it right. But something weird is going on with micro.artkavanagh.ie. I can't reach it from Safari or Firefox on my machine. Looks like some kind of certificate error.

Try editing your reply and use an image from a different website.

@sod I see what the problem is. I changed my domain name (to use the newsletter feature) and that image URL has the old one.
