 | Hello,   I just built my own forums (Its a working progress) but I was wandering if theres a place you guys learn off? Because i was searching for like 30minutes trying to find out how to do reply boxes / post boxes with BB code and stuff (above the box bit like u hav.. ) but i couldnt find any...   So i thought i'd ask how you do it / if theres a place u can send me to learn bout it :P ?   Thank you, Sorry to bother you with this as i know your busy with the Obs Mod :)   DUde. |

 | Search for TinyMCE. That's what this reply box is. Good luck  |

 |    themes : 'simple,advanced', should be:     theme : 'advanced', AFAIK you can only have one theme, but you can have multiple plugins. You need the advanced theme for the extra buttons. Right click and View Source (on the Reply page) to see the code that is being used on this forum. |

 | okay atm i just copied and pasted ur tiny_mce bit and its working ~ will change later .. but I am having another problem.. stuff like emoticons.. well even more basic stuff like when you press ENTER to start a new line it comes up with... rnrn   and these are all characters from a keyboard and what they appear as... testing characters a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 - = [ ] ; \' # , . / \\ | < > ? : @ ~ { } + _ ) ( * & ^ % $ £ \" ! ` ¬ ENTERrnrnENTERrnrn   as u can see theres some wierd stuffin there like < which is < i think and gt which is > ..   is it coz im ..   function protect($string){//Escape dangerous strings
 $string = mysql_real_escape_string($string);
 $string = strip_tags($string);
 $string = addslashes($string);
   on the $msg = protect($_POST['reply']);   is that why they wont work coz its strippin the stuff :( ? |

 | Yes, you are stripping everything out, so no formatting appears. At the very least, you will need remove "strip_tags" because that takes away all the formatting that the special edit box added. |

 | to be fair though, that opens up the forums to html attacks from nasty people >:( .. so is it worth the risk ^^?   |
