I can see from the database that vBulletin attempts to cache the parsed results of posts, however it doesn't seem to do it all the time.

Proof: if i make a post using some special bbcode, lets call it [test], and its defined to be replaced by <b>content</b> as defined by a plugin (important). If i make the post while the plugin is switched off, i'll have a post that looks exactly like this:

[test]blah blah[/test]

if i then enable said plugin and hit reply, then down at the bottom in the topic review, it looks like this:
blah blah

Go back to the thread view, and its back to raw bbcode again. So the main thread view is clearly caching the parsed post, but the Thread Review is not. (These are the only 2 places i looked, obviously there could be others)

Is this deliberate or simply an oversight on the developers part or even my part in configuration, because i'm trying to write a custom bbcode plugin that runs a database query when it parses. Obviously, it would not be good to have to run said query every time someone saw an instance of this bbcode tag. The caching is good for this reason, i'd just really like it if it always used the cache and i'd be happy to go into my vbulletin and fix it, as long as its not a deliberate 'mistake'
