bbcode temporarily porked
It's nasty I know - we're working on it...
I wanted to turn on HTML until bbcode gets enabled.
Edit Profile (profile.php?mode=editprofile) is not working.

Update: there are about 30,000 posts to fix in total and for reasons too complicated to explain, they all have to be opened for editing and resubmitted. Not by hand
- a script is running round the clock to do that automatically (using the SimpleTest web tester). It'll be finished around Friday. I also need to run a few database queries to fix the html entities you can see in php tagged text. If I concentrate on more recent posts first, after a couple of days things will pretty much have returned to normal.
New posts are working fine with [ php ] tags.
Once again, apologies for the inconvenience.

Great job, it's much appreciated.McGruff wrote:Update: there are about 30,000 posts to fix in total and for reasons too complicated to explain, they all have to be opened for editing and resubmitted.

Set Search Time - A google chrome extension. When you search only results from the past year (or set time period) are displayed. Helps tremendously when using new technologies to avoid outdated results.

Just wondering, is there any hope for getting the php-highlighting code to stop changing 'u' to 'you' in code blocks?McGruff wrote:Update: there are about 30,000 posts to fix in total and for reasons too complicated to explain, they all have to be opened for editing and resubmitted.

Progress report: it took a few days to get the db into a state where I could begin clearing up the & and other messed up characters So far, I've done about 18,000 - the most recent first on the grounds that these are more likely to be requested than older posts.
In phpBB there are no unit tests so I have to work blind. It'll take a few passes and possibly a couple of weeks to get every last post which has been affected, but the forums should on the whole be returned to a usable state much earlier than that. In the latter stages I'll just be hunting down the odd special case. I hope.

Let me know if you have any problems with the scroll bars on php tagged text.
Scrollbars should pop up automatically if the code block is too wide or too tall. The maximum height is set at 40 lines of code which works well on a 1000x700 screen - is anyone using 800x600? It's awkward to scroll horizontally unless the full block fits in the window. I could do some screen res detection and set the max height dynamically if anyone complains.
