I apparently lied - maybe I was drunk, however, I'm 17 pages into the thread again. Reinstalled again and again and mysteriously, I did get the bbcodes working in the threads (would love to turn on for signatures as well but can't seem to get that far..)

Dr. Bantham: Can you make [quotes] or [randomquote] work in signatures? Also, do you open and close the tag with any characters required between them ( [randomquote]stuff [/randomquote] )


*** No luck whatsoever with vbAdvanced CMPS regardless of what I do in it's admin area. I sure could use a hint or two more on this one....


Thanks for the hints here and there though - As of this morning, I have a forumhome template displaying a random quote, bbcodes work (sort of) inside thread messages. I can add, edit and delete quotes
(all together now) However ; )

I've found that a prior mod (the one used here at The Org) is interfering in the style selection: The White Quote symbol is coming from another hack and refers to .quote for it's style: See attached image please...

/* ***** open and close quotes images ***** */
.quote { 
    margin:15px 10px; 
    background: url(blak_ice/misc/q.gif) 0 0 no-repeat; 
    padding-left:25px} 
blockquote.bq { 
    background: url(blak_ice/misc/q1.gif) no-repeat bottom right; 
    font: italic 10pt verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; 
    border-left:3px solid #ccc;  
    margin:0px; 
    padding:0 5px}

Would there be a chance that the use of the word quote might be causing all the grief? (And what's a good remedy without giving up either?)

Whew... It must be 5 somewhere..
