Question from a computer know-nothing: what is the BBCode that can be disabled for a post? I've been looking at that for over a year, and can't figure it out. Help! Gosh, I hate being dumb . . . .
The BBcode is used to format text, insert url's and pictures in a post on forums, profiles, comments and in PM's. BBcode is similar to HTML. The only difference is BBcode uses square brackets [] instead of the <> in HTML.
I've seen that too, and never thought to ask about it. What I haven't been able to figure out... even after Frank has explained to me is the "Img" button. [/img]
If you are familiar with HTML then you can think of BBCode as a forum version of HTML. It's there because if HTML was allowed it could be used for nefarious means (e.g. including Javascript to mess with your browser) whereas BBCode prevents this.
