Axilus Prime Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I was making this post and editing it: http://www.bzpower.com/board/index.php?showtopic=236&p=507730 But when I saved, it came out as a bunch of BBcode, which was not what I was using to edit it. I tried erasing everything, switching to BBcode, and copy-pasting this stuff into it, but when I clicked preview post, it didn't do anything. How do I fix this?

Reznas Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 This has been a recurring problem for many BZPower users. You can post any questions you have about the formatting issue here or, similarly, here in these tracker issues. The administrative team is currently working on such issues, but until then, you'll have to do what Meiko suggested. -Rez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axilus Prime Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Well, I know what that stuff means... But my intention was to fix it so everyone else can read it. Is there any way to do that without writing the whole thing all over again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reznas Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Well, I know what that stuff means... But my intention was to fix it so everyone else can read it. Is there any way to do that without writing the whole thing all over again? HTML editing has been removed by the staff for certain reasons. I'm sorry to say that there is no way to use HTML code and convert it back to regular text/BBCode via BZP. You may want to explore the internet for some alternative converters, however. But your best bet is just to take out the HTML code, and reedit the text. -Rez Edited February 28, 2013 by -Reznas- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axilus Prime Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Fixed it using Wikia for the basic code fixing and then edited the rest even better than before. Thanks, you gave me the idea. I guess this topic can be closed now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Six Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 The problem is with IPS, and we'll likely be upgrading to hopefully fix it soon. I'm glad you found a workaround.Thread closed. Bio of a BZP Admin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
