MyBB Community Forums

Hi, I recently merged from phpbb to mybb 1.8. I had a few thousand posts already on my forums and now these old posts are all showing gibberish thanks to bbcode.

For example, this post here should have displayed a youtube video: http://geekysweetie.com/forums/showthrea...89#pid1089

but instead it displays the following code:

[bbvideo=560,315]https://www.facebook.com/kawaiisugoiblog/videos/10154078301829521/[/bbvideo]

I could go in and edit these old posts by hand to remove the bbcode and auto-embed the video with the automedia plugin, but like I said, there's a few thousand threads... so doing this by hand is not ideal

I'm just wondering if there's a plugin or some easy way to handle displaying these posts correctly.

I tried searching but didn't see anything useful. Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

Maybe worth trying some "Word Filters" I used them to show some old smilies that were no longer working.

AdminCP > Configuration > Word Filters on left hand side > Add a filter.

Not sure if it would work in your case, but worth a try.

Hi! 

This is a slight issue with our merge system. Sadly, you will need to change your code to reflect the below:

[video=facebook]https://www.facebook.com/kawaiisugoiblog/videos/10154078301829521/[/video]

This would then showcase your facebook video.

hope this helps!
