I recently disabled BB code for PMs. I noticed that the BB code buttons and pulldown menus are still shown although they are useless. It would also confuse users because they don't know BB code is disabled and wonder why their tags don't work. They may even file a bug report. So it would be great if all BB code stuff is hidden if it cannot be used.

You could set this up using a Skin Edit and HTML Logic....

I found out that if you use the reply button, a quote tag is inserted into the post, even if BB code is disabled. I don't thing that makes much sense in that case.

I've figured out how to automatically hide all BB code related stuff if BB code is disabled. I just put every BB code related code into this if tag:

<if="ipb.vars['msg_allow_code'] == '1'">...</if>

I also disabled the autoquote function with this. But I really wonder why Invision doesn't do it this way in the first place.

Because no one has ever brought it up before?
