old comments - did they work correctly before the crash?
if so, there is no reason in the world why you would need to edit them or modify the database ???
I wouldn't even enable an editor
put some bold tags <b>bold</b> and see if they work in new posts.

now all we need to know for that particular message. is that from firebug or database?
what is in the database and perhaps there is a chance to solve it and isolate where the problem is, it's still not present, not sure why OP can't post it??? WDYT??

yea those were the bold tags he put and what they look like in the source, so my guess, is that the formatting is not working or has something interfering with allowing those tags.
I am not sure how that work so would not know how to fix it. Assuming he has all the right settings. What would cause this to happen ? the tags are being changed into
that...
and display snapshot of body in database and format in database for a problem discussion
and re-reading the above comments a few times.
but then again should it be logical or guess work.

i don't need a link i need an image of what is stored in body in database.
htmlentities or htmlspecialchars
<?php
$str = "A 'quote' is <b>bold</b>";
// Outputs: A 'quote' is <b>bold</b>
echo htmlentities($str);
// Outputs: A 'quote' is <b>bold</b>
echo htmlentities($str, ENT_QUOTES);
?>

You needed to download a new copy of vanilla and add HtmLawed, I think when your plugins were wiped out , you did not replace this one which comes with the download of vanilla. I added it , now it all works....
I got to thinking, what has an effect on html other than the formatting config, then it occurred to me to look for the htmlawd which was enabled, but was not there...
@peregrine said:
broken plugin,
removing htmllawed - just causes html tagged things to disappear
well the plugin was missing actually, but enabled.. when I added the plugin back into the plugin folder, the html was ok and looked normal.
I have no idea really how it is supposed to work, but I know it has to be in the plugins folder at any rate. When this happened to me about the plugins getting wiped out, I got all mine back in bulk by the host. I think @mbforums just added them by hand and forgot the ones that come with vanilla.
in that case he probably has a bunch of other bad plugins that also come with core that are more uptodate than in the addons downloads. So, when he continues to have other problems, he will know what to do.
So, in essence what you are saying by following the step by step solving mysterious problems would have solved it in less than 20 minutes.
Always in any case try to have a backup of your plugins and themes ready. If something is messed up, it needs a bug report and it might need... that backup of plugins and themes!
guys, thanks so much for all your support, that was my problem..i have no clue that there were default plugins there....its a bad habit not to check after using wordpress and joomla for 5 years..
i was able to fix, stats, facebook, google, minify and tons of others...
@mbforums said : i was able to fix, stats, facebook, google, minify and tons of others...
Avoid minify as if it was e-bola virus!!
i have no clue that there were default plugins there...
It is always good to have a spare copy of Vanilla or download a new copy to make sure it is complete.
Special thanks to Vrijvlinder...
You are very welcome! Thanks for trusting me with access to your server The truth is access only works if you know what to look for , once I suspected HtmLawed and seeing it was missing the rest was easy.
I can't fix everything, just so you know... but I can learn how and so can you

it's still a guessing game, you like them, I find them a waste of time, until OP provides info requested.

any plugin that modifies the body of a discussion (quotes, editors, emotified)
the logical thing to do would be this.
