    Default Board trouble?

    visit-red-300x50PNG
    I'm currently browsing

    the forum in search for info on new products that I want to buy from the shop, but I find it rather difficoult and

    discouraging to read through the posts as there are soo many cases of these errors in them:



    </font><blockquote><font class="small">Quote:</font><hr />

    bla bla bla bla

    <hr /></blockquote><font

    class="post">

    bla bla bla bla

    </font><blockquote><font

    class="small">Quote:</font><hr />
    [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img]


    Is there a way of fixing

    this? I've tried with both IE and FF, but get the same thing with both programmes. Maybe the mods can repair the

    board if there's errors with the board?

    Cheers

    Those 'errors' are from the

    transition from the old to the new forum. The only way to 'fix' them would be to make those codes mean something

    (aka translate into images or new font sizes) again so that you'd see the results of the code and not the code

    itself since it no longer has meaning to the forum.

    The mods can more or less deal with it by

    searching out all the threads and deleting or modifying the codes to be compatible with the new forum engine. You

    are talking about a huge project that we just do not have the time to tackle. I imagine if somebody had access to

    the code they could create redirects to the new smileys or generate additional ones to match the ones being called.

    I am not enough of a programmer to even consider it, even if I had the time.

    This would be great yes, but I do understand that it might involve

    alot of work.

    I also keep having this thought that I't'd be so nice to have a dedicated forum section with

    just the very best post, but this would probably take a lot of work too.

    It would also be very subjective. There are threads I find offensive that

    others think are wonderful. So, who decides which is good or bad?
