Can you post an image? I don't know what you mean about text being cropped.

I used the following lines in something I wrote that parses the tags:

PHP Code:

$bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());

$previewmessage = $bbcode_parser->parse($message['pagetext'], 'socialmessage', $message['disablesmilies'] ? 0 : 1) 


You may want to take a look at the API, or just read the code, regarding the vB_BbCodeParser class.
