- Enabled Built-in BB Code Tags
This setting allows you to enable and disable any of the built-in BB codes in vBulletin.
Disabling a BB code will prevent it from working anywhere on the forum, including signatures, private messages, user notes etc.
The BB Code that can be enabled or disabled here are:- Basic BB Code (i.e. [B], [I])
- Font BB Code
- Link BB Code
- HTML BB Code
- Color BB Code
- Alignment BB Code
- Code BB Code
- Size BB Code
- List BB Code
- PHP BB Code
- Maximum [CODE] Lines Default: 30
Code (such as [CODE], [PHP] or [HTML]) is displayed as pre-formatted text which does not wrap when it reaches the edges of the table. By placing the code within a scroll box we avoid the situation where the pre-formatted text stretches the forum layout. This setting allows you to specify the maximum number of lines of text the scroll box will display before a scroll bar is used. - Allow BB Code in Non Forum Specific Areas Default: Yes
If you enable this option, users will be allowed to use BB code tags (such as [b], [i], etc.) in non forum specific areas. This setting is not used anywhere in vBulletin itself, but may be used by addons/plugins. - Allow Smilies in Non Forum Specific Areas Default: Yes
If you enable this setting, users can type such text as :) and :( and they will be converted into smilie images in non forum specific areas. Otherwise, the text will be displayed as text. This setting is not used anywhere in vBulletin itself, but may be used by addons/plugins. - Allow [IMG] Code in Non Forum Specific Areas Default: No
If you enable this, users will be able to use the [IMG] tag to show images in non forum specific areas. This setting is not used anywhere in vBulletin itself, but may be used by addons/plugins. - Allow HTML in Non Forum Specific Areas Default: No
If you enable this, users will be able to use HTML code in non forum specific areas. This setting is not used anywhere in vBulletin itself, but may be used by addons/plugins.Warning:Since this setting can be used maliciously, it is strongly recommended that you do not enable this setting. - Add nofollow attribute to URL BB Code Default: No
If enabled rel="nofollow" will be added to the any anchor tags for an external resource outputted from the URL BB Code. This instructs search engines that a hyperlink should not influence the link target's ranking in the search engine's index. It is intended to reduce the effectiveness of certain types of search engine spam. - URL nofollow domain Whitelist
This setting specifies the domains which will be exempt from the nofollow attribute being added to outgoing links (if the above option is enabled). Place each domain on a new line without the https:// - Allow remote [video] retrieval Default: 3
The display of certain provider's video using the [video] tag requires a remote request to be sent to the video service in order to retrieve the video page. Though this is only performed when the video is submitted with a post, you may wish to disable this ability. This option determines how many remote retrievals will be allowed with a single post submission. Set this option to '0' to disable remote retrieval.
