In the Example, [ URL][/URL ]

This is the understanding I got from reading the Explanations and BB Code List. Most of all this is my first forum, this BB Code is new to me, and I am a little confused what to enter.

I only used spaces in the brackets for this post only. I understand the code won't be read with spaces.

Thanks for your response,

OK a couple of problems... for BB Code Tag Name you would simply enter something like: mybb

Then you could use it like [mybb]test code[/mybb] in your posts.

If you want to use the option you set the "Use Option" to "YES" option.

Then you could use :

[mybb="stuff"]test code[/mybb]

You would never enter [] or "Option" in the BB Code Tag Name field.

Problem 2: url is already a built in BBCode, You can't make a new one called url and there is no reason you would need to, the built in bbcode works exactly how you want it to.

Here's a sample BBCode you can look at to get an idea what goes where: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=250322
