Hi :) I've installed vanilla & found one problem: when I paste html link to my old forum (perl) or my blog (wordpress) links r corrupted because of vanilla use to replace dashes with mdashes. For example, instead www.blabla-bla I see www.blabla—bla. I suppose I have to edit something in library/framework but I will be very glad to know which file & line. Thanks :)

    Good for u Dinoboff :), but I didn't say that THIS forum replace dashes I'm worring about MINE & wanna know how I can avoid this replacement. Yes, mdashes appear when I post the comment - maybe because of russian version but however I need more information about replacement in vanilla. Thanks.

    I tried it on a basic forum as well. Which extensions are you using? I am not aware of any dashes replacement in comments.

    Thanks once more - I use Attachments, AjaxQuote, Category Jumper, Comment Removal, GuestSignIn, & HTML formatter. I suppose the most suspicious is HTML formatter...
  • DinoboffDinoboff
    I don't think HTML formatter does that. Could it be MySql?

    Oops (: I know 2 little about Mysql, how should I check it?
  • nashashunashashu
    I've check SQL table Comments -there r only dashes.

    This really sounds like Smarty Pants is running... Try turning off all extensions and see if the dashes are removed... if so, then turn them on one at a time until the bad dashes come back.

    I don't know of any extensions doing this, but I'd like to know for sure.

    Thank u! I've done it before posting my quest but managed to leave out Transmogriffer (: I disabled it so for now everything is OK :). I suppose I have to check code in order to find replacement...
