bbcode and/or html tags not working for some users in Sig

Site Admin/Owner Joined: Aug 27, 2002 Posts: 17088

I have a site where a user is set up as any other user. All the other bbcode and html tags work in the signatures - his does not. Even a simple

Code:

[b]Hello[/b]

will not work. It works in the preview window but not in the final post. I'm at a loss here folks. Any ideas?

Well I'm guessing you've already checked the simple stuff .. but to make sure

- Is he going through the Forums Profile?
- Does the Forums Configuration have "Allow BBCode" on?
- Standard clean BBToNuke files... includes/bbcode.php , modules/Forums/posting.php ?
- He doesn't have "Disable BBCode in this post" checked on posting does he?

All good ideas but checked out already. It is so very puzzling. As I said, it previews just fine.

What's being stored in the posts_text table?

The sig with the tags

Specifically? I just want to see if its giving the proper id along with the bbcode tag

Be interesting to see what the cause is. I personally dislike the serial# added to the tag bit.

If its in the database correctly, then something on the viewtopic is not parsing correctly

Here is what the sig is showing - I'm using html tags right now but the bbcode tags produce the same results

Great article, one that definitely won't
be picked up by the mainstream press.

Guess I'm stuck.. I can't seem to duplicate it

I can only duplicate it on that site <sigh> Thanks for your thoughts and efforts.

So its not a server issue? If you install clean phpNuke, it doesn't do this?
And it doesn't do it for any other user?

All other users work. It's not a server issue.
