Html code...
 

I've been trying to get this to work...

When I post a chat log on our forum, it does this:

[08:36] <norbs> g'day nige, macca here

The name of the chat person dissapears, here it is with a space:

[08:36] <norbs > g'day nige, macca here

How can I get it so the board will IGNORE the 'tag' which is the username? is there not a nohtml tag or something to disable html for a section??

Oh, it works here...

So... how come it works here?

What do you mean exactly?

Well when I paste a bit of text from mIRC into the forum, the people's nicks from mIRC (normally like 'norbs' you see above) are invisible... you can see them when you click edit post... but not when viewing from showthread.php...

On this forum it works though, because you can see 'norbs' where I tried it above...

I think my board thinks that <norbs> is a html tag? So basically, is there anything I can get people to put around their pasting which will disable html within it? like a bbcode?

you would need to turn off HTML processing for vbulletin posts for that specific forum, or for the whole board. When VB sees a '<' it assumes that it's an html command, and if your board has html parsed in the post, then you won't see those <> tags.

or search for a hack that does the same thing as [code]The " It just might save you some hassle.
