SUGGESTION: Option to disable BBCode


Guest David Petley

Recommended Posts

Hi,
I would like the option to disable BBCode for specified user groups, in the same way that I have an option to allow or disallow HTML posting for any specified user group.

That way, I could set up a 'new member' user group that could not post live links (spam or otherwise) until they graduated to the more trusted 'members' group.

Am I being naive in thinking this (option to disable BBCode) should be a pretty simple thing to do?

cheers,

david

....Maybe not a general forum feature, but a modification would bee nice. Seems neat, like the idea.



+1 (if we use that system :P)



Hi,
thanks...but I am not sure why it could not just be a general forum feature that works in exactly the same way as the current 'allow/disallow HTML posting for this member group' option.

Is there some over-riding board requirement that would make such a thing an impossibility?

I like this idea, David, and agree with you that it should be in a future version of IP.Board.



Thanks Brandon :) ...do you (or anybody else reading) know if IPS staff/developers actually read suggestions in their feedback forum.

Should I expect a response from them? .....or is this forum like a wishing well ;)...throw in a coin and then go away hoping your luck has changed.

cheers,

david

They do read the feedback forum. Although I am waiting to hear back from them on one of my suggestions. They ignore us for a short period as soon as their new software is released.

I can picture Matt as he reads the feedback forum.

"FRACK! THEY STILL ARE NOT SATISFIED!?!?!"

+1 on the idea btw. Sounds like a useful option.

thanks D.San, appreciate your reply. I work for software developers, so I do understand the pressures with release of a new version (which we will hopefully upgrade to after the holiday season).

Sorry to dig up an old post. Is there any way to temporarily turn off BBCode? I can't seem to find the setting in 3.0.x



Look and Feel > Post Content > BBcode Management

You can choose which usergroup is allowed to use each individual BBcode you've got.

In the future, please use the peer-to-peer forums or your client center for technical support questions, as per the note at the top of the page.
