Welcome! This forum has a treasure trove of great info – Scouters helping Scouters! Just a heads up, though - all content, information, and opinions shared on this forum are those of the author, not the BSA.
Sometimes, event notification emails that use BBCode look like this:
NOTE THAT THE VENUE HAS CHANGED. This event will take place at the Carbondale Lowe’s, not Walmart.

There seems to be no rhyme or reason for when BBCode works, and when it doesn’t. It’s not an error in the code itself; it shows up fine on the Scoutbook event page.
What’s going on with this, and will you please fix it?
This just happened to me. I did a bunch of test notifications last night to perfect the notification. I then went to the existing campout note and pasted in my markups. I was then presented with an email showing all of the markups and no cool effects.
I was wondering if old events are not the same as new ones?
I had thought this was fixed, as the first event email for an event looked fine (I tested it before I sent it to everyone), but the second reminder showed the BBCode raw (including a URL of “https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/HealthSafety/pdf/680-001_AB.pdf[/url]” which of course goes to a 404 page). Please fix this!
