HTML in "Edit Forum News"

[idahojoe]

All I am trying to do is put some code into the "Edit Forum News" and it won't allow it. It ends up showing the actaul code. I am trying to get it to show a logo and link to the website. Anyone else having these issues? Here is an example code that I'm putting in:

<td><center><a href="http://www.waterfowldecals.com/ [nofollow]"><img src="http://pnwhf.net/Themes/classic/images/wd_advertising_banner.jpg [nofollow]"></a><center></td>

Any suggestions?

Try getting rid of the "<td>" and ''</td>".

Use BBC code instead of html

Html should work, shouldn't it?

[Thantos]

Not unless you put  tags around it and even them I'm not 100% sure if it'll work.

OK. Well, FYI, the description reads: "... Some BBC tags, such as ... are allowed in your news, as well as smileys and HTML. ..."

anunlike,

That's what I thought. I mean if it says you can use html code you should be able to. Guess not though.

Or it's just not perfected, yet.

I don't know BBC code, does anyone have a readme or howto for somple code like the above example I gave?

Ok I did a little bit of testing and HTML works fine in 1.1.  However in 1.0 it doesn't like the img tag.  So simply change your news item to

<center><a href="http://www.waterfowldecals.com/"></a></center>

Still looks like it doesn't show right. It will show the actual banner now but it shows the code in front and behind the logo.
