adding icon and links into a forum message boby

[chris_angell]

hello I have made a forum... but the main message thread come from the data base as a memo,

what I am trying to do is make the message boby a little more dynamic

like you have done here.. but the problems I am having is

<%=forum(rst("message"))%> this is the way i call the info, which mean how they format the input box is how it will display in the thread


<%=rst("message")%> like this i can add html tags but it does not format the text...

so i am a bit stuck, i am trying to think of a way to add icons with out sayiong to the forum members but a <br> if you want to drop a line ???

i was thinking something like this

if
Body = replace(Body, ":)", "<img src=smile0.gif border=0>")
end if..

i don't know if this make scese,, but if you could help, You would make me happy :)
