well it seems pointless if the users can use it as well..

besides, wont they see the bbcode when they quote the post in text editor anyways?

yea they could, but see this is a standard bb code, and im fairly new for vBulletin stuff, phpBB is not exactly the same. But with well placed rules settup users if theyve read them will know not to use them, I know when I use this on my forums, all my users know its a staff only allowed bb code and they dont use it.

I also in my forum rules explain that the 3 alert boxes are for strict staff use only, And I dont put the bb imagess at all. I am fairly new to coding anything for vB, I have doen some in phpBB in the past, so if theres any BB Codes heer that do basically what your request is, if they allow Re-Useable Code go ahead and point me to it and ill see what I can do with this one.

Well I speak from experience, not everyone tends to follow site rules
Hence it would be best if you can find a way to add permissions for these custom BBcodes, which will allow us to set the permissions per usergroup.

yes they can, once the quote the post, they'll see the BBCode, hence my request for usergroup based permissions.

All you have to do is edit the permissions for the groups you dont want to have the ability to use this.

Because of adding this, the avatar in the pm area, doesn't show.
It is blank, though the avatars in general forum shows normally, this issue is only in the pm area
