Kryptronic Software Support Forum

Not good indeed.  Code inside a code block is supposed to be directly cut&pasteable.  With the corruptions that have occurred, this could lead to a lot of problems with applying various mods and patches through all parts of the forum.

Hi Todd,

Thank you very much for the compliment.  I'll check with Nick about beta testing... but I think I'll give him a little time to catch up first.

As far as changed posts, I had to fix several of mine already.  But since I've fixed them, I don't have an example to show you.  What happened was that inside code blocks, if there was more than one space at the beginning of a line, such as an indent for the contents of an if statement, the conversion left the first space, but converted the second one to    Allow me to demonstrate:

Code which on the old board looked like this:

if ($variable eq "something") {
  print "Did something";
} ## endif

Got converted like this:

if ($variable = "something") {
  print "Did something";
} ## endif

Obviously, if someone copied/pasted the incorrectly converted version into a PERL script, it wouldn't work.  I haven't cruised all the posts to see if it happened anywhere else - I was just checking a few of mine in the Mods & Hacks section and I noticed it had occurred in several places.

I have yet to find where pun converted a space into a non-breaking space.  I might be missing something though... do you have an example you could link to?

Yes, I've found several examples.  I've corrected most of mine, but here is a good example:  https://forum.kryptronic.com/viewtopic. … 194#p63194

That post is not one of mine, so I couldn't correct it.  But a little further down, you'll see my reply, which has almost the same code the way it should appear.  Would make a real mess for copy/paste, that's for sure.
