[ot-- kinda]No more HTML in signatures

[Gnome Berzerker]

I see a lot of code in a lot of sigs, and I just thought I'd let ya'll know that it isn't translating anymore.

Some people might have the option to "not view sigs" on, so I thought this might be important.

BTW, is this a permanent change?

Correct - html has been turned off as part of working on problems with the boards and with bandwidth issues.

For the most part, however, just about any html functionality you would want can be done with vB code, I think.

That's why - and it's much safer overall, as someone malicious could do some uncomfortable things with sig-based html code.

Anyone know of a good primer for learning all the ins and outs of vB code?

You can try "Visual Basic 6 in plain English" By: Brian Overland ISBN:0-7645-7007-2. It is more of a reference book by but it does have review the fundamentals. I like it but then I like to code console based "C" Lol!

There are a whole lot of others, but not sure if it pertains to here, because vbscript is different as is VBA, but they are similar enough. other books Visual Basic 6 weekend crash course, Visual basic visual quickstart guide,etc. and I think o'reilly has a vbscript reference guide.

Humm! this stuff above is for applications, the code here is bbcode? I have a whole bunch of links if you want them.

I think he means vB code as in vBulletin not Visual Basic...

If anyone is interested here is a link to a manual. The custom BB Codes look interesting but this is more a mod and admin tool.

I just learned it from the help file here on the board. Down at the bottom of the page where it says vB code is On -- click there for the tutorial/index/whatever.

while we're on the topic, your sig is a perfect example of what doesn't work any more, isidorus .

Thanks, just got around to fixing it. To busy job hunting lately and writing for LA on the side.
