Hi,

ask for help/advice.

Does anyone know how I can fix this problem in browsing Restored web pages of this site (see below)?
I really don't know (but I didn't try hard...)

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Somic

Marty Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone.

All the tags need to be [] instead of <>. A simple search/replace by the team would fix it.

nope
there is more to change.

a simple "activate HTML in posts" wouldn't do it, either, because it would need to be activated in each reader's profile, too.
if you desperately need a posting, copy/paste it to notepad, save it as .html and then view it in the browser...

... and there is the question how important this is, because the restored postings are from the forums before summer 2004

BackupUser viewer 1.1.

Select the original garbled text and click the "paste" button to be able to read it again.

Select the text you want to extract (or click on the "select all" button) and then click the "copy" button to transfer it back in the clipboard to use it as you wish.

Code: Select all

Sadly does not always work (the view is ok but not the copy as text part).
For example look at this first post:
http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... =12&t=5104

Even if you save it as .html and load it with IE and than save it as text, the part with the code is all on one single line.

EDIT: should be fixed.

Thanks guys (expecially luis for the tool, for me better than nothing)

When I look for solutions I give a look to old code too, because, beeing a beginner, I can find something interesting and avoid to post "stupid questions" (even if in my company we have two milestones: 1. "there are not stupid questions, only stupid replies" and 2. "if in doubt, ASK!!!",; but I understand that there we are paid while here you are all voluntary contributors...

This forum and his people are valuable resources for purebasic :!: and it is usefull for me to have it all (honest and modest) :D

Best regards,
Somic

We all make mistakes.

It makes us human.

(Which, incidentally, makes me more human than others, as I make more mistakes...)

Did someone of the PureBasic team done something about this ?

I just noticed the old posts seem to be "ungarbled" now...

http://www.purebasic.fr/english/search. ... mit=Search

even the ones linked in this thread are readable now.

What's happened ?

Yes, we wrote a script which reformatted them correctly for phpbb3.
