Maybe I add a yellow popup layer, that show the first part of the wikipedia article, in future.

UPDATE: Showing this in my link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%20<br%20/>vbulletin<br%20/>

Did your replacement code exactly look like this

PHP Code:

<span style="background-color: White; border: 1px dashed Blue; padding: 3px; text-decoration: none;"><img src="images/misc/wikipedia.gif" alt="Wikipedia reference-link" align="absmiddle" border="0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/{param}" target="new">{param}</a></span> 


and the tag in the post like this?

PHP Code:

[wikipedia]vbulletin[/wikipedia] 


Its currently only a link, the popup layer is a feature I work at present.

[Neal-UK]

Yes, all done exactly as the instructions stated. I'm using vb 3.6.0 Beta 3.

It was me not putting wikipedia in the Tag area when adding a new BB code. I put in [wikipedia][/wikipedia] by mistake and not just wikipedia, working fine now thankyou

Might be a good idea to mention that in first post as some noobs like me will probably make a mistake.

[Red Matrix]

Excellent, but I have modified it for my dark skin.
