*ONLY* call your routines to change [b] to <b> and new-line to <BR> in
"Display"

Database ---> UBB Decode ---> Display

* Of course, if you have a "Preview" in your UBB, then that's also a
"Display"

But you'll go *NUTS* if you try to convert back and forth as often as you
are now.

Minimize the number of times you need to use your decoder.

In fact, you should *NEVER* need to go from <B> to [b] unless you import
content from some outside source to 'seed' your forum.
