I’m not sure what’s up, but often I am seeing things such as “Gosh, idiot! ” where I have no idea what > means. That quote just came from a reputation comment, so it still seems to be happening.
Also, some of the translations did not work well. This exmple is old, sure.. but just one I found: https://bigblueball.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14181
January 6, 2005 at 6:12 pm #111248DJHyperbyteMemberThe reason that it’s old is the reason why it isn’t translated. Only the BBCode and smileys from our last forum settings were converted. The HTML code you see in that thread is from a pre-previous configuration.

As for the BBCode, some things didn’t come over perfectly. I’m just thankful that it went as smoothly as it did. We brought over nearly 80,000 posts and 20,000 members, and it went pretty darn smoothly considering the nightmare it could’ve been.
January 6, 2005 at 6:52 pm #111251DavidParticipantWhat about all the links, did they convert properly?
As in the ones that used topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=XXXX?
January 6, 2005 at 7:01 pm #111247Jeff HesterKeymasterYes, the “old” hyperlinks should still work. DJHyperbyte coded nice little redirect. Check it out:
https://bigblueball.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1594 is an example of an “old” .asp link that automatically redirects to the correct new link. When we imported the existing topics, we retained all the old IDs so we could do lookups and keep things working.

I’ll look into this. Thanks, and pardon my ignorance. 🙂
