Converting from phpBB 2

I have been searching for some answers to my questions and have been unsuccessful in finding what I am looking for.

I am converting from phpBB to SMF in an attempt to obtain the features that SMF currently supports and phpBB has been working on for over a year.  I like the software and look forward to utilizing it on my site.  How do I allow html in signatures AND in posts?

From what I have found this is unsupported in SMF.  I have no problem with the software not supporting html, but the phpBB conversion tool does not convert the html to the supported BBC.  So all of my threads that have html are broken.  Is there a way around this that I am missing?  I only want/need to support simple html (a, i, b, u)

Thanks in advance.

You can enable or disable this. What version of SMF are you using?

I just went and looked around again and still can't find where it will allow me to turn on html in posts and signatures.  (posts actually seems to be sort of working, the link is just jacked up)

I did find the admin > posts and topics > bulletin board code (tab) that has the Enable basic HTML in posts option, but that was checked and the html in my posts and signature still isn't working.

What I did find is that it looks like SMF tries to convert the html to bbc - which causes problems because it converts this:

<a href='http://www.whatever.com [nofollow]'>link goes here</a>

into this:

<a href='http://www.whatever.com [nofollow]'>link goes here[/url]

Here is my test thread if you would like to check the signature: http://sac.napkinnights.com/dirty/index.php/topic,28347.0.html [nofollow]

Any thoughts?

What version of phpBB are you using? Do you have any mods that concern BBCode?

i had successfully converted from phpBB (2.16) already, and no mods installed at all.

my most recent poop was an upgraded from RC1 to RC2.
