Signature - HTML stopped working

Sorry for the flood of dumb questions... I really am loving Minibb, but some things I am struggling with.

I added the 'Signature' option, and set it to allow HTML code, and that worked.
But all of a sudden it has reverted to partial plain text.
Line breaks work, but other HTML doesn't - links, images...

I have tried un-installing the plugin, but that hasn't helped.

I had changed the type of the text field in database, which holds the signature, from 'varchar' to 'text' via phpMyAsmin, and wondered if that was the problem - but changing it back hasn't helped.

This time I really am stuck!

:o(

ok - this is weird...
Initially standard html worked.

But now link name works for links, but [img = http : //xxxx.jpg ]image name[ /img ] will not work for images...

I'm very confused!

Ok - everything has randomly stopped working again...
No HTML code works.

I've obviously done something wrong, but I just can't work it out!

Mmmmm - when I look at the code in the database field the various characters are being changed into HTML special characters - so < becomes &lt;, etc.

Does that help?

Ah - if I change the avatar (I have that plug-in running too) it seem to break a signature that was working...
It made the previous correct code as seen in phpMyAdmin change to character codes, as I reported above.

Mmmm - I'm now looking into that further!

Ok, changing the avatar is not associated, it the fact you are editing the 'profile'.
That causes the signature HTML code to get translated into 'special character' code within the database...

I've tried to test signatures in the 'Demo Minibb' but I need the posts to be authorised...

:o(

Need to check this is a problem of my making, not a bug...

If I type into the signature filed: < img src="http://www.7-dna.com/images/7-dna_small.png" > (without the spaces)

In the the database filed I get: &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.7-dna.com/images/7-dna_small.png&quot;&gt;

I have double, triple, quadruple checked the plug-in implementation - I can't see a problem :o(

I'm starting to go mad here!!!

Database saves it correctly. There is separate encoding for signatures, you may check that. Also, test signatures for users with more than 10 posts (or whatever you have set to allow creating clickable links).

Ps. as I remember, you must use BB encoding in signatures too. You cannot enter:

<img src="http://www.7-dna.com/images/7-dna_small.png" />

For a clickable link, try:

[imgs=http://www.7-dna.com/images/7-dna_small.png][/imgs]

or

[img ]http://www.7-dna.com/images/7-dna_small.png[/img]

All members have to be so all can post links (we use pre-moderation as well) and so we allow all users to post links.

I have looked at the encoding code, but I'm not that good at php.. ;-(

Definitely ;)
Actually, I didn't understand what have you tried to implement with all that above.

Let me look at the problem again - and get back to you with better information.
However, I think bb code is now working correctly!

BB code and HTML are actually very different things.
You should be more careful with your statements (so we could also understand them ;).

Yeah - as I said, I am a dunce at this - hopefully learning though, with your excellent support!
