I suppose that stands for Bulletin Board Markup Language?

Yes, 100% mine although ive seen plenty of message boards that use the
brackets around text to identify something like an image or a html tag

I see youve signed up so youve probably seen the post form. the buttons that
are there are the tags that are allowed, plus the smiley faces
everything else displays as text, attempted script postings are laughed at
and made fun of publicly... (i couldnt resist)

most important.... keeping newly replied to posts and threads at the top
and believe it or not smiley faces....

i left those out to start with but i was bombarded with posts and emails
demanding smileys and avatar images. some things never get old to some
people....

password retrieval, personal profile editing... the list goes on
this one is fairly new and still growing.

feel free to grab  the js code to insert text onclick

the output is simple enough....

replace(message, "[b]", "<b>", "ALL")
replace(message, "[lol]", "<img src=""images/lol.gif"">", "ALL")

#message#

I've shown this to a couple others and they both said, "Why not just do your
replace when you insert the message into the database"

trust me, enter it into the database just like you see it in the form field.
you'll just end up screwing yourself when you decide to create the ability
for users to Edit" their own posts.

if you want to know anything else about it specifically, let me know
