For example if I apply the bold attribute in HTML around a text like this: <b>This text is bold</b>, when the entry is edited again the HTML code does not remain in this way but changes to bbCode format: [ b] This text is bold [/b]. This causes problems because I need the HTML code to remain in the exact way I enter them in order to apply the required formatting to the entry using HTML. I've checked my LDM settings and HTML input is enabled in entries. If anyone has any idea what I am talking about and can offer some advice on how to solve this, please let me know. How can I prevent the WYSYWIG editer from automatically converting HTML code into bbCode?

EDIT: I've just noticed that this problem only accurs with the Advanced WYSIWYG editor but not the Standard editor, so switching to the standard version solves the problem.

The code uses vbulletin wysiwyg textbox forms. I imagine that the html/bbcode handling is built into the handling of these forms.
