Josh Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) In my opinion one of the worst feelings is when you make a massive post, and you have lots of anchor tags within it, but it breaks every time you edit it. Wouldn't it be great if you had a simple tool which automatically switched all of this broken html code for proper bbcode which is compatible with the forum software. Well that's what I've done. You can find it here. It basically checks for the mangled code and replaces it, so you don't have to worry about replacing anything by hand. This was born out of years of frustration with having to keep copies of all of my large topics as when edited they broke. Now it doesn't have to happen. Take a look here for an example of the tool at work. I've simply taken a post with lots of anchors and jumps and copied it into the tool. Then I selected all of the output text. It worked like a charm! I didn't think that Murdoc would mind me using his milestone thread as an example, it was one of my earlier posts so I just thought I'd use it. NB: When copying large pieces of text into the changer, it is normal to not see anything in either box. Just press select all and paste it into the reply box, it will work. Enjoy guys! EDIT: For some reason the weblink isn't working all of the time. Here is a direct link. It isn't a time-consuming download as it is only 1.38kb.
