Works like a charm...thanks...
The link part did required some tuning.... tried all the combinations...
finally uncommented
[code:1]//$udde_msg = str_replace("<a href=\"", "[url=", $udde_msg);
//$udde_msg = str_replace("<a href=\\\"", "[url=", $udde_msg);
//$udde_msg = str_replace("\">", "]", $udde_msg);
//$udde_msg = str_replace("\\\">", "]", $udde_msg);
//$udde_msg = str_replace("</a>", "[/url]", $udde_msg);[/code:1]
I know not a good practice....but it works....so no problem...
