Hi, I'm interested in using vBull for an ASCII art group but have noticed that posting the ASCII art with it's space/character/fixed width formating is near on impossible.

I know the code tags come close to preserving some of this formating, but still has probs.

Can it be done with vB? Or am I banging my head against a wall? (again)

i never heard of any problems with ASCII Art and codetags.

but, in vb you can create your own bb tags, so if ascii arts need special html-tags before them to work you can add equivalent bbcode tags and it'll work :)

Thanks for the speedy reply.

I can see I will have to delve a little deeper.

Problems I've faced with the code tags I think was that it was wraping or didn't handle certain characters or lots of spaces well can't remember quite which one.
It also tended to widen some forums as opposed to standard posts.

I will look more into various tags

Thanks again
