Now that all this tricks are coming to the general knowledge, does anyone know why many options from the Rich Text Reply, like headings or the horizontal ruler, don't work?
it's very frustating trying to post some an article or something else, making use of the tools only to find out that all that work has gone wasted because nothing besides bold, italic and underline works.

Technical answer: All our posts are in a container called post-body which has styling directives with the !important tag which overrides a lot of the formatting that the Rich Text Editor should allow us to do.
As for why the website has been designed this way, you'd have to ask ioi. I guess it was in an effort to have some uniformity on the forums but it's not like crazy colored posts were really a problem in the past.

But then why does the site have those tools if they can't work? It doesn't make sense.
But then, maybe when the the old Rich Text Reply was brought back after the launch of VGC 3.0 after many asked for it's come back, they (ioi or the guys that made the site) just "copied" the old code without thinking that some things wouldn't work.

Well the decision to not allow those things through is definately intentional, I guess it's possible they forgot to take the horizontal rule button and format drop-down off the RTE.
