Is this a forum system you've written yourself?  If so, you need to
convert back any HTML tags you want to allow.  E.g.:

$post = preg_replace("'<li>(.*?)</li>'",'<li>\\1</li>',$post);

Otherwise, it sounds like the forum system you're using doesn't allow
HTML in posts, so no, there's nothing you can do.  Just check the docs
to make sure this is correct.
