[RESOLVED] BB Code

[Sayian]

When using BBcode in things like private messages, or comments

is it better to store the BB code in mysql, and then when the private note is read, replace all the BBcode with html?

or is it better to convert all the bbcode to html and then store that in the database?

Thanks

It's best to store it in the database as HTML, so that it doesn't have to reformat the code every time a user visits the private message/comment. That way it takes less time to load because it won't have to "decrypt" every time the BBCode-formatted content loads.
