Where's the posting options?
 

I'm converting my board from phpbb to vbulletin

But there's zero options when you post, such as bold, italics, images, url, sizes, fonts, colors, etc...

Basically all the stuff that's above me as I type right now.

Do I have to manually create the bbcode for each of those?

Considering with phpbb all those things came automatically standard, I have a hard time believing that vbulletin, which costs $85, you have to create each code yourself. If so, that's just sad.

Please tell me I'm wrong and there's an easy way to do this.

Yes, it's an easy thing! :) You need to change the setting in vboptions for your editor to be wysigyg so the menus you need show up above your posting area.

Hmm

I went to vboptions > Message Posting Interface Options

Under all 3 dropdown boxes it says Enable Standard & WYSIGYS options already

You probably have it turned off by default: vboptions > registration options > default registration options > Message Editor Interface > set to Standard & WYSIWIG. That will then be the default and users can turn it off (or on) in their User CP.

thanks, that worked

now to fix the smilies so they show up.....

the generic ones do mostly, but the imported ones aren't and I checked the path and it seems right

images/smilies etc....

Do you have them in a different folder than the others? Perhaps the permissions of the folder is not correct.
