The template loader works fine, prosilver's template bitfield indicates that the default template should be used for bold, italic and a few others. I don't know why there's a bold template in bbcode.html, it could be the remnant of a previous iteration or it may serve as an example for other styles...

All *CPs (ACP, MCP, UCP) use the same basic module system. As part of refactoring those CPs we'll probably also have to start on refactoring the module system that enables them currently. We definitely have to separate the contents of the actual modules and the module system that runs those modules ...
