'Disable BBCode' and its effect on quoting

Post by KnocksX »

Not sure whether to classify this as a bug or a feature request, but I think it's a little bit of both.

When BBcode is disabled for certain users, they are still able to use the Quote button, and proceed with replying to a topic, which results in a bunch of inactive BBCode tags in their posts and a lot of untidy topics. I think we should either:

a) hide the Quote button from users for whom BBCode is disabled (just like we hide the rich text editing bar from them), or
b) make the [quote] tag an exception to the Disable BBCode setting

Option a is probably easier to implement.
