Yup it's something already talked about in length in another thread.

Re: Bug? No pun_htmlencode on forum_desc in index.php
Basically:
Newbie need to encode entities if they use one (&<>) in the description, which should be explained in the manual/install process and should be rare.
Advanced users need to be able to use tags in description, <cite> or <a> being probably the most common.
And it's more work to have it both way (encode automatically for newcomers, extended for the others).

I thought that might be the case. Is the plan some kind of warning or javascript popup or something?

Re: Bug? No pun_htmlencode on forum_desc in index.php
I'm running 1.3.1 and having trouble getting linebreaks to work in my forum description
This is line one of my description.<br /><b>This is line 2</b>Outputs as:
This is line one of my description.This is line 2
No linebreak. I've tried "<br /><br />" and "<br><br>" but neither works. Is this related to the HTML needing to be encoded? I also tried "<br /><br />" but it outputted as "<br /><br />" on the index 
Re: Bug? No pun_htmlencode on forum_desc in index.php
It's something on the CSS:
.brd br, .brd hr, .brd .hr, .brd .hidden {
display: none;
}on Lines 22-24 on 'style/Oxygen/Oxygen.css'.
