Why does this old command not work on VDr?
<!DOCTYPE html>

<a href="http://www.w3schools.com">Visit W3Schools</a> does not work either.

How can either be changed to work?

HTML is disabled for security reasons, but BB code is On. You can see what's On and Off in the "Posting Permissions" box at the bottom of the page.

Here's what the BB code would look like:

And then what it will look like after you click Submit Reply:

SpywareDr--Many thanks. So I guess each forum can have its own coding rules.

You're welcome. And sure they can, but many use BB code (vB Code) instead of HTML because it's safer.

Many message boards include a FAQ with information on how to use their own variants of BBCode. In addition, some bulletin board systems allow administrators to define their own custom BBCodes. This is usually done by asking them to specify the BBCode markup (utilizing variables/wildcards to indicate the user-customizable parts of the code) and then indicating the XHTML replacement which will be substituted for the BBCode.

Here's VirtualDr's BB Code page: http://discussions.virtualdr.com/misc.php?do=bbcode
