No Yabbc tags please?

[fancyfelines]

can I disable the yabbc tags and allow users to use regular html? Some folks are just TOO used to ezboard.

[Greg Robson]

You can't let them use regular HTML, although you can disable the YaBB code - it's listed under 'Enable Bulletin Board Code?' in Forum Preferences and Settings

[horsemoon]

why there wont be an option, that only admins and global moderators can use html tags?

[David]

You can do everything that is needed with the Bulletin Board Codes.  By allowing html all the error checking would be gone and it would be much easier to screw things up.

Actually, the Yabbc tags are better than HTML for various reasons but the best reason is that it is pretty hard to mess up your code since all you do is click a button and enter you code in the proper place.  It's a faster, safer and easier system to both learn and use.

Allowing HTML is dangerous to your board as it can easily mess up your board and make it unuseable, not to mention the possibility of malignent scripts that could be inserted.

cheers...........

Hmmz. All the fun tags are actually not on that bar.

* Mephidmann pretends to be Plonkerfish and pokes John

* Mephidmann laughs at fancyfelines for not wanting ubbc tags

[Spaceman-Spiff]

agree with john

bb tags are easier to use than html tags, and most of them are very similiar
if u find something that's good in html tags that isnt in yabbc tags, then u can request yabb se to make that tag available in yabbc tags

I made a mod for a pretty php tag, you can highlight php source. Yahh!
