If I click the "quote" button below a post, the forum grabs that users post and puts it inside brackets.

However when I save my post with that users quote, it shows the literal forum code instead of listing it in the nice "quote" like it seems to do for other users. Any tips?

Having the same issue..... :P

This reason would be because the "quote" feature uses UBB code and new members are prevented from using UBB code until they have 30 posts.

Have you thought about removing this restriction for all UBB code and limiting it to URLS only which is the reason you have it in the first place I'm assuming. It makes the forum look quite messy in my opinion.

That is not an option with the forum software. Making all the urls "no follow" would discourage spam while allowing UBB code to work for new members but we prefer to give the benefit of making links in the forums value. So currently disabling UBB for new members until they reach 30 posts remains the best option.

And all this time I thought it was something wrong with my computer's settings! I'm glad I found this thread, as I was beginning to pull my hair out.

Gave me a scare too. Took me a while to get to this thread. Good to know that it was just a limitation for new users like me.

I am having the same issue and it is so annoying seeing a literal forum code.

Oh.. it is working now. Thank you for the clarification. Please disregard my post above.
