Yet another newb question for you guys/gals. I noticed when editing a post it doesn't show the full vb code. Like say if I post a link, if I go back to edit it how can I make the full code appear(like the [/url] part)?

Also, what is [/code] and [/php] used for? :)

[ code ] will use a fixed with font to display code, so it's easier to read:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html dir="ltr" lang="en">
<head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
<meta name="generator" content="vBulletin 3.0.0 Release Candidate 4" />

[ php ] will do the same, but will highlight the code as if you were using a php editor.

<?php
echo "Hello World" ;
?>

Using the editor you can change URLs just by using the http://66.197.142.137/forums/images/editor/createlink.gif button. If you don't like the WYSIWYG editor then you can change it in your UserCP options.

Had same prob m8 and if you go to your UserCP and change it to the 'Standard editor' it will appear as it always has before with all code displayed.
