    what exactly works and what doesn't.

    new comments - work or don't.

    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.

    @peregrine

    I saw what is happening there, the html is being changed to this rendering it useless

    div class="Message"> &lt;a href="mobileforums"&gt;&lt;b&gt;mobileforums&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; </div

    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??

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

    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...

    What would cause this to happen ? the tags are being changed into that...

    • broken html tags in body preceding the rest of the code
    • broken plugins
    • broken theme
    • broken js
    • duplicate plugins that have been renamed and enabled
    • duplicate plugins and themes that still have "live php" files
    • fiddling with htmllawed

    • any plugin that modifies the body of a discussion (quotes, editors, emotified)

    • the logical thing to do would be this.
      http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/comment/187197/#Comment_187197

    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.

    Assuming he has all the right settings. :)

    WDYT??

    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 &lt;b&gt;bold&lt;/b&gt;
echo htmlentities($str);

// Outputs: A &#039;quote&#039; is &lt;b&gt;bold&lt;/b&gt;
echo htmlentities($str, ENT_QUOTES);
?>

    @mbforums

    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....

    V-doc fixed your html !!!

    @peregrine

    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...

    Mystery solved :)

    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. :)

    I think you love her! I gave up because info requested was not provided :)

    well the plugin was missing actually, but enabled.

    and generated no error messages, sounds like an issue for github?

    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!

    There was an error rendering this rich post.

    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... <3

    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 :)
