the """ problem

[ixfd64]

Ever since the conversion from YaBB to vBulletin, all the double quotes have been displayed as ". It has been several months, yet this has not been corrected.

Does anyone have an idea when this will be fixed?

Maybe you should be asking the person in charge of the Forum...
The members can't do anything to fix a vBulletin Software problem....

This is indeed the place where people do that sort of thing

A quick fix would be to just use the forum's censors and censor """ so it comes out as " .

there is a tool i could use to search for that regular expression w/ vbulletin and replace it, but i didn't want to risk messing anything up. i will try doing the censor method to fix issue for now but im not sure it will let me use the & symbol

Theres always one way to do it... but it could take centuries. Delete each one :crackup::crackup::crackup:

I'd suggest a straight DB query:

SELECT REPLACE(post_column, '"', '"') FROM table_containing_posts;

I don't know what the vBulletin table structure looks like, but if you substitute in the appropriate names for the table containing posts and the column containing post bodies, this will work fine.

I assume vBulletin uses MySQL? The above query uses MySQL syntax.
