I checked it out... there is not a setting to hide it. Probably the easiest way to "remove" it would be to remove/hide links to it. Shouldn't be too involved. I didn’t remove the moderators section.

Is there a setting to hide that? Thanks, Edward Hi,

How did you removed the moderators section of the forum? Is there a setting to hide that?

Thanks,

Though you could also argue if you are using this for a forum or something similar, you would have "key" with the specific valid codes and buttons to insert those codes into the textarea.

Also, out of curiosity I did a speed test for variations of preg_replace and str_replace…

100000 iterations, using 5 paragraphs input from lorem ipsum with 5 ‘<br>’s randomly about:
.306 seconds
$t=str_replace('&lt;br>',''&lt;br /&gt;',$input);

.793 seconds
$t=preg_replace('/&lt;br&gt;/','&lt;br /&gt;',$input);

.594 seconds
$t=str_replace('&lt;br&gt;','&lt;br /&gt;',$input);
$t=str_replace('&lt;br /&gt;','&lt;br /&gt;',$t);

.852 seconds
$t=str_replace('&lt;br&gt;','&lt;br /&gt;',$input);
$t=str_replace('&lt;br /&gt;','&lt;br /&gt;',$t);
$t=str_replace('&lt;br/&gt;','&lt;br /&gt;',$t);

.880 seconds
$t=preg_replace('/&lt;br(\s){0,1}(\/){0,1}&gt;/','&lt;br /&gt;',$input);

The time is really microscopic, but making regex’s aren’t as easy as str_replaces.

I will say preg_replace WORKS, but I like to avoid regex when something else simple works just as well.
