shtkn Report post Posted September 7, 2015 I was finally able to load the old database (before the 4.0 upgrade) and can now retrieve posts taht were screwed up by the upgrade.Provide me the link any posts you see that need fixing and we will fix it here.I expect a lot of people to have a lot of requests, so my apologies if i sound terse when replying CAVEATSjapanese text will show up as gibberish. I'm certain this is fixable, but I don't know how, and i'm certain i won't have time to research this.character balls will show up as codes instead of images, you will need to fix those yourselves after I'm doneSome BBCode won't work (like the [ info ] boxes)If there are posts where the url is clearly visible, I will skip them since those you can fix yourselves and I need to move on to fixing the stuff you guys can't Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

heavymetalmixer Report post Posted September 8, 2015 Something useful I found thanks to a friend, is that Youtube links won't get a preview if you don't copy the "http://www" part. So you can put one link like "youtube.com/watch?v=VYS1RLuYQK" and you won't get a preview. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnBi2199 Report post Posted September 8, 2015 The "Forum" links from the xrd wiki are brokenFor example on Sin's page the forum Button links to: http://www.dustloop.com/forums/index.php?/forums/306-sin-kiske/which does not work.http://www.dustloop.com/forums/index.php?/forum/306-sin-kiske/ (forum instead of forums) worksI tested this on Sol's, Millia's and Sin's wikipages so I am pretty sure the link is broken on all pages (I dont have edit rights or else I wouldve tried to edit it myself) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shtkn Report post Posted September 8, 2015 the wiki is open edit, so yes you can. this probably means the links for bb and p4 are broken too... i'm going to go start on bb then if you can work on xrd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
