Problem with URL bbcode - Aquarium Advice

fishfreek · 06-30-2005, 09:25 PM

Due to a recent security update with our forum software some uses of the url bbcode no longer work like they used to. There is a way around it by simply getting used to formating your url bbcode differently.

Below are some examples of how things used to work and how to do them now.

Code:

AquariumAdvice.com

The above code used to work and it would create a bold clickable link that said AquariumAdvice.com and went to our home page. Using this format now will result in the bbcode printing in your post vs it formating the link how you want. The new method of doing the same thing is below

Code:

AquariumAdvice.com

This will create a link that looks like this AquariumAdvice.com.

What you can see is that while you can use multiple bbcodes together to get the look you want the url bbcode may not have any other bbcode within the opening and closing url tags.

Is there a bbcode tutorial somewhere?

you just read it.

Under the regular post reply screen there is a small help line that will appear as you pick different bbcode buttons.
