I think I mentioned this earlier, but still: when you submit or preview a post phpBB converts tags into lower case. Furthermore, phpBB only parses lower case tags indeed, so it doesn't parse any upper case tags in posts imported from vBulletin. However, if you do a "null edit" (click edit, change nothing, click submit) those tags are converted into lowercase and will therefore suddenly be parsed again.vermaden said:One of the remaining problems left after the migration is that tags in [ UPPER CASE ] are not parsed, while [ lower case ] are, for example [ FILE ] is not parsed while [ file ] is parsed.
In case this issue was already reported, ignore me

Obviously, we couldn't possibly ask anyone to do that! It would be nice if you can occasionally "null-edit" old posts if you happen to come across them, but if we decide to stick with phpBB, which isn't even certain yet, we'll probably have to come up with some sort of SQL query that does this for the entire forum database. In fact, if I remember correctly someone already posted a suggestion somewhere earlier in this thread.vermaden said:but what about all the old threads like that one below, should I now check my 2000+ posts and pseudo-edit them?
There seem to be a lot of mixed feelings about the migration to phpBB. What are your experiences after the migration from vBulletin to phpBB?fonz said:but if we decide to stick with phpBB, which isn't even certain yet

Have you read about the "null edit" (*) thing? The more common tags should all work now, except that nested tags don't always work. In particular, no tags appear to be parsed inside [.code] tags.Simba7 said:Are they going to fix the tag issues? My posts, along with others, look quite butchered.

tags are not working unless there's a leading www part in the address, it is not possible to make a pastebin.com URL link, you have to write http://www.pastebin.com.For example, when I want to lead people to [url=http://catslair.org]my homepage[/url] (shame and fame ;)) then it seems to be working quite smoothly.
You can read more about this issue on the OpenSUSE News blog.The Register said:Linux distro openSUSE’s public forums have been compromised and defaced and tens of thousands of user email addresses exposed after a hacker exploited a zero day flaw in the underlying vBulletin software.
My bad, I just can't find link a to this: search.phpgraudeejs said:Search is so awkward. What if I want to search entire forum?
It's a known problem. As a workaround, go to e.g. "View new posts", "View unread posts", "View your posts" or any of those and then go to "Return to advanced search".graudeejs said:I just can't find link a to this: search.php
