That's its default behaviour. Check this link to see what the WYSIWYG editor does: http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Posting

Hm. Did you install any mods affecting posting features? Can you provide your mods list? Is your error log clean? SMF version? The problem started randomly or after installing a mod?
Also... The wysiwyg editor should edit the text in real-time, I mean that you shouldn't be seeing any code such as this "[b][/b]", it won't show up, it will just make your text bold directly while typing. One more thing, the wysiwyg editor is known for being buggy and many people (including me) decided to fully disable it on their forums.

When I manually type [b][/b] it works but clicking the icon bold doesn't do anything.

Also, did you install any theme affecting the posting area?

Um, the point of WYSIWYG is that it is 'what you see is what you get' meaning that you're not supposed to see the bold code but that you should be able to start typing and up it comes in bold. Or type some text, highlight it, press bold.

I already said that...
Also... This might help? Maybe? http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=496688.0

The thing is, you know and I know that it is the default behaviour - but someone who isn't used to it might not realise what 'the default behaviour' is. It is not exactly the most obvious thing to use.

Also, would not recommend that mod. Been way too many issues resulting out of it.

I know that still it is not working

@‽ that's why I linked the wiki manual indeed. It explains it.

So...

1- problems don't start randomly on computers.  There is always a cause.
2- you keep saying, it doesn't work... But you're not actually providing clear details,
3- have you tested with the default theme?
4- have you tested with a different computer and/different browser?

In your flirts post you said, that the bbc does not show up when you press the bold button.
This is correct behavior. It's not supposed to show up.
If you press the bold button and then continue typing, the text will be in bold... Even of no bbc is visible.
If you highlight text and press the bold button, that text will be converted to bold... Even if no bbc is visible.

In the  wysiwyg editor, the Bbcode is never displayed...  The text is just formatted the correct way, inline perhaps italics or underline might be easier to notice than bold, when you are testing?



If you still claim that "it doesn't work" then you will need to give us a link to your forum along with a temporary account login and password to test it....      Because, if it is actually failing, I would bet you, the error is in your browser, with a JavaScript failure.
