Code tag doesnt work properly?

[Finger78]

I'm trying to make posts that has some tutorials on sig usage etc on my forums and when I put the code I want within the [ CODE ] (spaces intentional) I can only enter in the opening code within that or else it completes the code if I enter in the close tag as well.

Example - when I type

[img]img url here[/img]

it completes the img code even thought its within the code tags so I'm forced to leave out the close code for it to show up, so mine has to look like this:

[img]img url here

If I put the close tags in my within the CODE tags I just get a blank code box.

Does anyone know how to get ALL of the code to work within the CODE tags?

I'm on vB 3.6.5

[ noparse ] is your friend.

[code]codeblock goes here[/code]

Doesn't that pretty much defeat the purpose of the code block to begin with? I had higher hopes for vB then such a seemingly rookie mistake.

Anyone care to tell me how I can add the noparse to the default [code ] tags? I know its not "officially" supported but I would like to know how to have the noparse added to the default code tag or how I can add an icon for the default noparse bbcode tag like the icon in the reply box for the [code ] tag.

Anyone care to help? I've read many similar posts to mine and no one has ever stepped up to help provide a real solution.
