Thanks for you help so far, Lynne.

What I have working for forum posts is on hook bbcode_parse_start and the code does a preg_replace on $text and then runs it through the bbcode_parser to get $parsedtext

PHP Code:

$text=preg_replace($my_search,$my_replace,$text);

if (!is_object($bbcode_parser))
        {
            require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bbcode.php');
            $bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($GLOBALS['vbulletin'], fetch_tag_list(),false);
        } 
$parsedtext=$bbcode_parser->do_parse($text, true, true, true, true, true, true);
} 


No luck using $pagetext for articles and I'm not sure that hook is even called? Any further suggestions which might point me in teh right direction on how to apply this to articles?

Thanks!
