Couldn't find a help section for posting on Bella Online, but hopefully I can get help here! My post options state: HTML is disabled. UBBCode is disabled. Does anyone know why or how I can change this? I hate being a sloppy poster!! haha Thanks! :)

If you hit Reply you should see a reply box for your text, and below that, a dropdown menu with 3 options:

using UBBCode
using HTML
using HTML and UBBCode

At least, that's what I have...

Thanks for the reply! I don't have that option. This is what I have below my reply box: Post Options Poll Manager (Total Polls: 0) HTML is disabled. Add this thread to my Watched Topics. UBBCode is disabled. Add my signature to this post.

Hmm. You could try cruising through your profile and preferences settings. They are accessible thru the My Stuff menu near the top of the screen. Other than that I'm out of ideas.

Still nothing. Maybe I need to update my Explorer. I don't have this problem at other forums though. Hmm... oh well. Thanks for your help. :)

We never allow HTML at all for any visitors - that would be a huge security breach. No HTML at all is allowed by any visitors.

New visitors - under 50 posts - are not allowed to do UBB code either. We routinely have spammers sign up who immediately begin posting external links. By requiring 50 posts before UBB code can be used, we have pretty much eliminated all spammers. So that one small change saved us literally hours and hours of work every day!

Lisa, Thanks for letting me know!! I had wondered at first if that was the case, but with 30+ posts I figured it was something else! haha Sounds like a great strategy, and I'm glad it's working and keeping the spammers away! Thank you so much for letting me know!! :)

Unfortunately, the spammers are still getting in-- they just can't leave "links" but they can leave visible URLs. When I view the forum list, the very first forum is Auto Detailing and the last post is Spanish courses in Spain... ??? What that has to do with Auto Detailing I'll never know! The moderators still need to be checking their forums, but, as Lisa mentioned, it's a big job if the forum is active.
