Thread Descriptions

[RedKilla]

hello, I am running Vb 3.7.2. I was wondering, does anyone know if you can allow html code in the Forums Descriptions? And if so, is there a hack available for that? Instead of having a description under the forums title I just want to add a picture instead on typing a description.

you just have to test it to be sure... be independant, try different things, and when they are not working it is the moment to ask...

I have tried the html code in the thread description..It doesnt work

[nexialys]

thread description ?!

your first post talk about Forum Description... and there, the html is permitted..

[RedKilla]

HUh?? I dont think you know what I mean. In the Admin CP when you set up your forums and permissions. See attached..I want to use html in the description box

Yes, you can use HTML there.

[RedKilla]

Well ive tried to enter HTML there and it doesnt work. All it does is display the HTML code

[Opserty]

Hmm, worked for me in 3.7.1.

(Also, please do not type your posts in size 3 font and in bold. There is no need to do so - thanks)

[RedKilla]

Sorry, its a habit in my own forums..If theres an option to do so....Why not?? Easier for me to read..Im old...LOL...Looks like someone else has the same questions..

actually, if your html does not work, maybe it is because it is wrongly written ?!

give us an example of what you have to put in there...

oh, and btw, linking two threads between each others will not help if you do not have the answer on one of them yet... :)

but actually, HTML code have to be compliant to be active in that field... description can contain html, and we do it in multiple websites, nobody have a problem with that... so maybe you need to check your html... post it here in the [html ] way... we will help

[Opserty]

If you type:

<b>TEST</b>
Into that box, what shows up when you are viewing your forums?

(Or follow nex's suggestion)
