Hi peregrine,
Here's a snippet directly from the database Body field for the img:
De Júlio Baptista a Luan: Cruzeiro faz 'liquidação' para reduzir folha salarial Por Camila Mattoso e Marcus Alves, do ESPN.com.br<br /><br /><br />[i][img alt=O experiente Júlio Baptista ainda não convenceu com a camisa celeste]http://contenti1.espn.com.br/image/wide/622_700ad48f-fd18-342f-aaf1-4d2e49c93058.jpg[/img][/i][i]<br />
It shows up on the discussion with the img text in italics (given the [i]) as follows:
`De Júlio Baptista a Luan: Cruzeiro faz 'liquidação' para reduzir folha salarial Por Camila Mattoso e Marcus Alves, do ESPN.com.br
not the greatest fix but you could remove all the alt in the image
by modifying /library/core/class.format.php
around line 287
$Mixed2 = preg_replace("#\[url=[\"']?(.*?)[\"']?\](.*?)\[/url\]#si",'\\2',$Mixed2);
// add this line to remove the alts.
$Mixed2 = preg_replace("#\[img alt=.*?\]#",'[img]',$Mixed2);
$Mixed2 = preg_replace("#\[img\]((https?|ftp):\/\/.*?)\[/img\]#si",'<img src="\\1" border="0" />',$Mixed2);
or you could use this if you prefer.
$Mixed2 = preg_replace("#\[url=[\"']?(.*?)[\"']?\](.*?)\[/url\]#si",'\\2',$Mixed2);
// this will delete all attribute info in an img format with [img .....attribs] so other pregg replaces will work
$Mixed2 = preg_replace("#\[img .*?\]#",'[img]',$Mixed2);
$Mixed2 = preg_replace("#\[img\]((https?|ftp):\/\/.*?)\[/img\]#si",'<img src="\\1" border="0" />',$Mixed2);
somebody may have a better fix. it worked for me on your body statement.
don't know enough about BBCode to make it better.
I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.
I'm also trying to make quoting work properly, the quote bbcode works. I posted a question under the Quotes 1.6.1 addon as I'm having an issue but unfortunately so far no answers. I'm assuming the quote feature in vanillaforums.org is also proprietary?
well thats a different discussion. and one would hope the author of the plugin would make it work "properly"
if quote doesn't work the way you want maybe quote selector plugin will offer another option.
That said, with bbcode, you will find some plugins will not work as well as they do with markdown and html.
best to try to wean your forum away from bbcode.

Agree, I'm not sure if the author is currently following the discussion, maybe not currently available

Yep, I did try that. Apparently Quotes 1.6.1 works with my bbcode, but Quote selection doesn't - the quotes aren't rendered at all.

Certainly moving forward, is the vanilla default to use HTML? My concern is on the old posts that have been converted

The format of discussions/comments is saved so you can switch to a new format while still formatting your old content correctly (with the bbcode formatter). I highly suggest using markdown as your default.
I can't get left/right/justify BBcode tags to work, and they are visible in posted text. I'm using the new advanced editor (also HTML text-align produces no affect).
Theme is the basic vanilla one, with a tiny bit of custom CSS in the .Message class.

working on dueling duplicate discussions seems counter productive

pick one discussion.
maybe this discussion should be closed as well as the one in the link and a new one started.

BBCode is not a standard, so expect stuff like this.
better to convert BBcode into html.
grep is your friend.

Thanks, I appreciate your help.
One curiosity on a side note, the quote module used in vanillaforums.org is custom/proprietary?
so did it work or not.

This issue is affecting me in v.2.2.1.
I can't get left/right/justify BBcode tags to work, and they are visible in posted text. I'm using the new advanced editor (also HTML text-align produces no affect).
Theme is the basic vanilla one, with a tiny bit of custom CSS in the .Message class.
Any ideas?
Are you using the NBBC parser plugin?
