You didn't indicate that you are using the square brackets, [], to surround the code letters in place of the gt/lt characters. Are you? If so, it should be working for you if you haven't changed any HTML related defaults.

I see here

that you did use the <> characters instead of the []. So that is the problem.

What Mal said.

The Firing Line uses vB Code which is almost identical to html except for the use of [square] brackets instead of <angled> ones.

Here's more information: http://www.thefiringline.com/forums/...bbcode#buttons
