[thelist] bbCode or HTML in DB?

[Zeljko Dakic]

Hello John,

actually I would always prefer to have bbCode in the database (memo 
field) so that when user wants to edit, he gets what he typed, change 
that and again save as bbCode. Before display it is then converted to 
html. Does this makes sense?
