>>We needed the screen real estate for the additional feature summarizing the members' posting activity. <<

I believe that restricting HTML in the profiles does nothing but destroy creativity that the original SI encourage.

I consider the new use of real estate as totally useless. What purpose is served by listing the last 25 posts twice?

I understand the rational for changing the format, but I'm not happy about it! No longer will we be able to see a side of posters that told us a lot about their character. No longer will members be able to bring attention to special events or causes dear to them. Yes some of the content may have been graphic or politically oriented and offensive to other users, but it also served the purpose of letting one know who they may not want to become cyber buddies with. Yes sometimes members used code that hide some of the content on the profiles, but this also gave us insight as to who they were. As far as an opportunity to embed malicious scripts or install malware on other users' computers, has there ever been an instance of this occurring on SI?

In summary these changes are just another step in making SI look like ever other site on the internet; clearly not a wise decision in my opinion!

Clearly the following suggestion fell on deaf ears:
