phpBB BBCode Not Working

    I can't get it to work on a phpBB3 forum. I have made sure BBCode is enabled. It will create the hyperlink if you link to the URL normally, but not when I use the the bbcode url tag. Any ideas?

    Are you sure the links are globally enabled?

    Good luck!

    When I post it says BBCode is on. Does that mean it's globally enabled?

    Im pretty sure (if I remember correctly) that in the general settings then post settings there's an option that says something like:

    "Allow URLs to be posted"

    Try that, im sorry im not giving you the exact location/details however I don't remember 100% myself and I don't have my phpBB board anymore although I know there's an option like that.

    Good luck!

    Maybe I am not being clear. It will make the hyperlink if I post the URL normally, but not when I make the link using bbcode.

    Yeah I got that, but the option above I believe controls the URL bbcode ;)

    In the post settings, there is this option.

    Allow links in posts/private messages:
    If disallowed the BBCode tag and automatic/magic URLs are disabled. But it was already set to Yes.

    Hm that's what I was referring to. If it's enabled them they should work. I guess the only thing I can suggest now is to make sure the permissions are set to yes.

    Sorry I couldn't solve your issue, if I had my phpBB board in front of me I could probably be of more assistance, but unfortunately I had to get rid of it.

    Good luck with it mate.

    May I suggest that you try asking on the official support board @ phpbb.com.

    As for the Socceroos, I agree ;)
