It shouldn't, here's what i mean, i went to AdminCp>Usergroups>Registered Users and here's the screen shot of how i configured them as they had no permission before i turned it on!

Simon, I think you may have the wrong image? Sorry to state the obvious, but that's advertisements plugin, and I'm referring to BBCodes plugin.

When I disabled a groups' access - that group can use all bbcodes, which I don't want (as I use a couple reserved for admins, like warnings and help, etc.)

However, if I enabled a group's access and enable a subset of bbcodes, say for example (url,quote,b,i,u,youtube,img,etc.) - while disallowing certain others (html,code,php,warn,etc.) - for unknown reasons, ALL bbcodes within that group are disabled.

So when I then review posts made them, in which previously (prior to using this plugin) their post was perfectly formmated (with b,u,i,url, etc.) - suddenly, their posts are a mess with bbcodes all over their posts.

It changes from (prior to installing) looking like this:

This is an awesome url to try, http://mysiteisthebest.com - and it really does work!!!

to this

This is an awesome url to try, [url]http://mysiteisthebest.com[/url] - [b]and it [u]really[/u] does work!!![/b]

This affects not only their posts, but their signatures too.

The moment I uninstalled this plugin and rebuilt bitfields - all posts returned to normal (formatted fully).

It's got me stumped.. but unfortunately, I think it's just down to an incompatibility with another plugin maybe.

Sorry, i was looking at another thread but then answered yours! lol!

I found that i had to turn on the advanced permissions and then allow the bb code i wanted them to have.

[Simon Lloyd]

You might also look at the case, i find its case sensitive, on my forum will not put code markers on if you have mixed case!

[Simon Lloyd]

As it happens i seem to have a problem with this and FireFox its not parsing the BB code in these plugin's:
bbcode_parse_complete
bbcode_parse_start

can anyone help!

[Been Told]

First of all: AWESOME Mod!!! This is something I've been looking for for ages!

Now here's a problem I'm having - I'll make an example:
I have disabled the COLOR BBCode (for testing purposes) for Usergroup A and enabled for Usergroup B.
Now a user in Usergroup A goes and types: [COLOR=Red]Test[/COLOR]
And when he looks at the post, that is just what he sees.
When a user in Usergroup B reads the post, he sees:
Test

That, of course, is not wanted. Am I doing something wrong?

I'm using vB 3.7 by the way.

Hello Abe1,
great Add-on! I think it's must-have for vBulletin. Any chance to only block [URL] and not [THREAD], [POST] and [EMAIL]? Because I blocked [URL] for the normal users but now they can't even link to other threads or posts. vB is not much fun anymore, when you can#t even use internal links.

[Simon Lloyd]

I'm having trouble with some BBcode when using this hack, it seems that the URL tags don't parse properly in your posts, in other words it's like you dont have permission to use the tag as you can see the tags and a link doesn't show (it's not all the time just quite a lot of the time), any ideas?
