When viewing my profile page at IMDb you can see the raw HTML instead of a nicely formatted list of links.

When I'm logged in, I see the page fine with proper links. When logged out, I see the HTML.

Here's a screenshot:

And, here is how it looks when I'm logged in:

There are multiple problems with the boards profile.

No statement of what is supported. HTML is only partial as is markup.
Very plain editor that leaves you clueless since no tools are available.
Not enough compatibility between the boards page and main page.
Not enough compatibility between either and pages on the message boards.

I have a very short bio, because of the frustration. I do have one markup tag that works relatively on the main page, but shows up almost as is on the boards page.

BoltBait,

I see the same problem with your board profile page regardless of whether I am logged in or not.

My board profile page also shows the raw HTML instead of displaying properly when I am logged out.

Like BoltBait's board profile page, my board profile page looks fine when I am logged in.

I noticed that there are embedded spaced in the URLs for both profiles.

This appears to be a problem for all board profiles, including the one for
Col Needham.
