As mentioned in the following closed thread,
http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/f33/hash-does-not-work-inside-bbcode-format-codes-18196/
when bbcode text formatting exists as the default on one's forum site, hash tags do not become clickable links if entered within post bodies, unless they are first moved outside of the bbcode formatting tags. I understand the response in the above cited thread, that this is by design and serves to avoid conflict with the bbcode tags. But since the workaround is switching the editor mode to view the formatting tags and then moving the hash tag references outside of any bbcode enclosures, it tends to pose somewhat of an inconvenience for many users. My only concern is that the current state of the matter may deter the use of hash tag references by members - since it's kind of a PITA for them to worry about moving their hash tags.
Is there any better workaround that would make using hash tags easier for members? Preferably some technique that would allow them to create active hash tag references within their pre-formatted message text?
Thanks
