Hello,

I've recently bought vB and I'm very glad with it; the only problem that occurs now is that posts and signatures are totally messed up, let me show it.

Signature on IPB:

Don't you like the idea of having all your internet visits logged? Sign now against forced traffic logging! (http://www.dataretentionisnosolution.com)

Signature after conversion on vB:

<a href='http://www.dataretentionisnosolution.com' target='_blank'><b>Don't you like the idea of having all your internet visits logged? Sign now against forced traffic logging!</b></a>

Is there a way to run a mass-replace for things like this?

Thanks for your reply.

Yours,

Yorick aka Yorixz

Posts and signatures or just signatures ?

Signatures are parsed when imported, in the IPB2 database are they still stored as HTML ?

Both are messed but depending on the tags, urls/colors/images are always messed but bold/underlined seems to be converted fine. I do think they're stored as html yes; I wouldn't know why though.

Is it a new board or a legacy board that has been upgraded over the years ?

All IPB2 content is parsed for HTML-2-BB on import so I'm not sure why that isn't getting caught.

It was a board that has been upgraded from 1.1 to 1.3 and after that trough all the 2.0.0 beta's to 2.0.0 final so defeniately not a new board.

Ahhh ok, then your going to have to find a list of the HTML that wasn't converted and use impex/tools/cleaner.php to sort it out.

As an example for that sig, your going to have to replace :

"<a href='" => ""
"</a>" => "" (
"' target='_blank'>" =>)

<b> should be parsed by the standard parser.
