Custom BB Code Question - 4.0.3

[Alisa Lindsay]

Lynn and Boofo,

Thank you for your quick reply. This one is kicking my rear...and I apologize for not being clearer in my original post.

I read the information on the link you gave me, Lynne (great site, I've bookmarked it for future reference)...

And I have tried every combination of the html and XHTML code I could think of...

What's not working....

The horizontal rule line does not show up on the post. I thought it was simply a matter of "color" and tried to fix that, no luck. When I turn HTML on for that forum, then using <hr /> inserts the line, but it only shows when I'm in edit mode. When I hit change it goes away.

Page Source seems to indicate that there is output from the code. Yet I am having a nightmare of a time trying to make it visible for posts in general.

I confess totally to being a code village idiot on a good day.

Currently I have HTML = ON for my usergroup (Administrators) but off in the forum itself. I"m unclear if the one setting overrides the other or not...so might partially be a setting issue.

I'm convinced it has something to do with the shading/no shading/colors of the custom skin (and my inability to get the code completely right). Although... it is also not appearing in the posts on the default skin either.

ANY suggestions, ideas, hints, helps, slaps upside my head for missing something obvious, are all quite welcome.

Regards,

Alisa
