Issue: BBCode doesn't work in my usertitle

[Corrin]

I've tried to code my usertitle for a while. Just doing a basic thing like changing the color but it just shows the full code typed out in my posts.

If you can see it, it's just the gray text showing the whole code.

I think html is enabled for supporters, correct me if I'm wrong, but "bbcode" as we use it in posts doesn't work.

Is there a guide somewhere for usertitles...? I can never get mine to work. :why:

I believe that, since there's no CSS that can be set specifically for the usertitle, you need to put all the CSS code inside the "Main Block" part of your Flair. This will of course influence every element of your Flair, not just the usertitle - but you can overwrite that styling by adding more CSS in the correct blocks ("Statistics" or "Username"). Hope this helps!

Hi :) you are actually all wrong as it happens.

BBCode as we use in posts does work in usertitles (for supporters). However, there are a few bugs with how it's parsed that don't happen in other contexts. In this case the issue you're running into is that the quotes from the [color="#fff"] tag are being turned into &quot, which is the HTML-escaped version.

You can fix this by just removing the quotes! BBCode tags don't actually need them, usually. The following will work for you.

In the future we'll be doing a major rewrite of the BBCode internals that will hopefully fix this and other issues.

Thanks sm! is there a way to make it glow?

You could use a div tag with the text-shadow CSS property? Like this.

text

[PLAIN][div=text-shadow: 2px 2px 5px gold;]text[/div][/PLAIN]
