Board trouble?

[gfunk]

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 />
/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif


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 :drunk:

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?
