Discussion Board Replies within HTML Tags

Discussion board replies within HTML tags are not displayed.
Steps to Repeat:
  1. Enter course.
  2. Creating a new thread with tags inserted at the end of the submission in the HTML editor.
  3. Attempt to reply.
Expected Result:
The reply text is displayed.

Observed Result:
The reply is not displayed.
Symptoms: The display issue (body of reply not showing) occurs because the body of the reply is rendered within the DIV of class dbParentPost, i.e. within the hidden original post that forms part of each reply. As that entire DIV is hidden, the response body is hidden too.
Target Release: 9.1 SP15 ( Blackboard is working on a patch to resolve this issue that should be available before we upgrade to service pack 15)
