    Hey, I dunno if you can help but would be very greatful for any help received. Ips are useless and can't help me!

    I've been running a phpbb3 board for about a year now, I just decided to do a test conversion to ipb 3.2.3 and everything went smooth until closer inspection.

    On my original forum I use lists and it doesn't copy them over correctly, I'll give you an example, this is how the coding looks in phpbb

    Code:
    [list]
    [*]1st List item
    [*]2nd List item
    [*]3rd list item
    [*]etc
    [/list]
    
    and that coding displays correctly, however when the that post is copied over to ipb it looks more like this:

    Code:
    [*:2q5wjl4b]1st List item
    [*:2q5wjl4b]2nd List item
    [*:2q5wjl4b]3rd List item
    
    however if I edit the post to display [* ] then it works fine (without out the space!). The problem is I don't want to have to go through and edit all of the posts that have lists in as there are quite a lot.

    Any help would be awesome. Thanks for taking the time to read this

    It may help if you say what exact code is used in phpbb3 to create a list.

    I use IPB 3.2.3 on my board and when I copy your first example to my board it parses just fine.

    the code used to create a list in php is the first example (without spaces):
    [list ]
    [* ]item 1
    [* ]item 2
    [/list ]

    but when I converted my phpbb board to ipb it changes the [* ] to [*:2q5wjl4b] Which doesn't parse.

    One thought I had was that I might have broken the ipb list bbcode it just doesn't look right. Are you able to tell me how the bbcode should look in the bbcode management please? I think that would be my first port of call.

    Thank you for you response and help.

    It's:
    Code:
    
    [list]{content}
    [/list]
    
    
    Click on "edit" button next to BBCode and on the screen at the top you'll have an option to recache that bbcode.
    Until it's recached changes won't apply backwards.

    Cheers for that. I hadn't broken it. That's exactly what I had. What could the problem be?! Any ideas??

    Thanks for your help thus far!
