Will have a look at it. :)

Will have to give this one a test. Greak work!

I think this might be what I have been searching for. I have a couple of basic or obvious questions but want to make sure I understand what this can do. I am considering using this on a 4.0 Suite.

Does this allow me to have a "Newbie" usergroup that cannot post any active clickable links in forum posts? THEN after I promote them to the "Members" usergroup I can allow them to start posting parsed or clickable links?

Can this stop usergroups from posting parsed links in blog posts or cms article comments?

If I apply the "Do Not Allow to Parse" rule to an existing usergroup, will it un-parse links they already posted?

If I move a user out of the usergroup that allowed parsed links, and into a usergroup that does not allow parsed links, will it un-parse links they already posted?

Are there any screenshots?

And last, what does C.E.S. stand for?

Thank you for making this and any help with my questions!

Yes, you can create a Newbie usergroup that cannot post BB-Code. Please note that this mod affects all BB-Code at once - (B, I, URL, INDENT, LIST, etc), you cannot specify the URL tag only.

If you apply the rule to an existing usergroup or move the user to a usergroup so they cannot post BB-Code, their BB-Code will become unparsed the next time your post cache empties.

Not much to show screenshots of, except the settings pages.

CES stands for the web site where the mod is developed - http://www.crackedeggstudios.com/

I see, that might be a showstopper for me. I was just trying to stop new users from posting links. I still want them to be able to use images, format font, all other stuff. Thank you for the response.

BTW - I like the flash intro to your site. It's the first one in a long time I didn't skip. Had to see what happens when the egg hatches.

There's another mod on here called "Advanced BB-Code Permissions" that might be closer to what you want. It hasn't been officially updated for vBulletin 4 but I haven't had problems with the old version yet on my vB4 site.

Existing users should update immediately if you were already running vBulletin 4.0.3.

Posted the 2.2.2 update. Users who are also running VaultWiki (full or lite) need to update to this version.

I just downloaded this mod and just love it. Unfortunately, I'm running into a conflict with:

Easy Forms

None of the BBCode in my forms created with that mod will parse when I have CES installed.

I'm using the latest version of both, and am hoping there's a way around this, as everything else is working perfectly.

From what I can tell, the shared hook is cache_templates
