Legacy Posts Formatting

Hey all! Have you been scrolling through the forums in old posts and seen random formatting issues like this?

Well good news! (I think) I got that all sorted out, however it’s not impossible there weren’t unintended side effects. For that reason, please let me know if you see posts that look bonkers so I can fix them.

Next on my list is to try and sort out missing attachments (pics/files). I have 1500+ files from the older phpBB forums, and intend to sort out where they belong on old posts that may not have transferred over correctly. Some posts did, some didn’t… That’s all part of the fun I guess. Note that I’m referring to pictures / files that were previously hosted by the forums. Dead links to external sites are out of my control.

I apologize that it’s taken me so long to address these issues. I wanted to make sure minimal issues when making bulk edits to the database.

Hope this simple fix help make the forums look a bit more appealing!

Much appreciated for sorting out the forums

Indeed, especially since it was a clustercrap before.

Hopefully this fixes the broken images and older youtube videos from before.

[remind Zach MyBB exists that has similar legacy forum layout and remains FOSS just like phpBB and Discourse]
