Turning off bb code and smileys in u2u's

Is there any way possible to turn off bb code, and smileys in u2u's.

I had sent a u2u giving some instruction to another member on the use of external image tags, to use smileys using their url.

And also instructions in using abbreviations like , , etc.

But in the u2u, I could not find a way to turn off bb code and smileys, so my instructions did not appear as I intended.

I magine there is are bb code tags for this, but I am not sure.

Anyone have a suggestion??

You could always refer the person to Zedd's Handbook on bb code.
www.abovetopsecret.com...

I've found it to be a useful reference for this kind of thing.
Also take a look at some of the other threads about bb code by clicking the tag you put at the bottom of this thread.
Sorry I can't help more, but I don't know of a way to turn it off.

Yeah, I've tried everything I thought of.

But I have found nothing in regards how to turn off in u2u's.

btw - are you running on full steam, or still using borrowed laptop?

Here's another link to FAQ that people can look at for quick reference.
It's just a list of bb code.

PS. The main system is still down, I'm getting a mother board in the morning and will start to rebuild it from scratch.
I brought the kitchen microwave out to the living room to use for now. It's only a P2, but it works pretty good.

Tell the recipient to hit the reply button on your message and all the BBcode will be laid out quoted and unactivated in the reply.

thanx, anx

Still not what I was looking for, but it did list a couple of BBCodes I did'nt know about.

And WCIP I'll try that.
