Yes it does but when I look at the message after I have posted, the word is not bold and all I can see is

Code:

[b]the words [/b]

You need to enable bbcode in both the admin panel & your profile

To do it in your admin panel
General>Messages & Emails>Configuration
Allow BBCode :Yes
Save

To do it in your profile
Profile>Preferences
Always allow bbcode: Yes
Save


See if it works after doing the above two steps.

Thanks that sorted out the issue.
