sitewide notices UI clash between displayed notice and all notice screen rendering

[hnla]

We have an somewhat confusing experience here.

When composing a sitewide notice you can in fact embed urls, add bold tags and those will be correctly displayed back when viewing the messages > notices screen; however we display the actual sitewide notice stripping out these tags as we run $notice->subject through 'wp_filter_kses'

Clearly this is confusing for admins and needs to be one or other.

I have had a need to update usefulness of sitewide notices and yanked the 'bp_message_get_notices' out of bp-messages-template to run elsewhere with modified markup and running the 'subject' through bp_activity_filter_kses() to gain a few allowed tags as well as wpautop()

I suggest we do something similar or conversely we ensure that the notices screen accurately represents what is going to be displayed and remove whatever filter is being allowed on that screen for list displayed notices.

Edit In haste to accommodate changes for user missed the fact that we do actually allow for basic inline tags, only slight issue is allowing conversion of http strings to anchors in notice screen but not in displayed sitewide notice.

On testing with bold and italic tags, I cannot find an area where BP outputs the sitewide notice where it strips the tags out -- they are being rendered as expected.

We'll need more details about the theme and exactly where to go to recreate this if it's still an issue.
