On a web site where I am a moderator we are having a problem.

When someone replys to a message then that message is replyed to again the display is in code instead of block quotes.

The Site is http://www.electricalknowledge.com/forum/active.asp

it ends up looking like this:

Surely someone changed the forum code, right?

Do you have a link as an example, and maybe a test account ?

Does it happen to all users or only some ?

Dont know if anyone changed the forum code.

I tested it here and it worked fine.

When I test it on electricknowlege i get the problem. I have so far deleted or corrected occurances.

It seems to happen to all users, not just some.

Old forum admin is out of touch. New forum admin sent me a copy of the forum code being used. I am not sure which files to compair to see where it was changed.

I am not a computer guy. I need help.

Should be inc_func_posting.asp.

I discovered that these lines are missing. they begin at line 108 using aranease program. They are from the inc_func_posting.asp file.

'## left for compatibility with older versions of the forum
fString = replace(fString, "<hr height=""1"" noshade id=""quote""></blockquote id=""quote""></font id=""quote"">","[/quote]", 1, -1, 1)
'##

Could this be my problem?

I added the line above, but I think I did it wrong. I got this error message when I tried it in the forum.

Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0401'
Expected end of statement
/forum/inc_func_posting.asp, line 101
fString, "<hr height=""1"" noshade id=""quote""></font id=""quote""></blockquote id=""quote"">","[/quote]", 1, -1, 1)

The line I changed was not on 101. according to aranease.

You neeed to use the complete line:

fString = replace(fString, "<hr height=""1"" noshade id=""quote""></blockquote id=""quote""></font id=""quote"">","[/quote]", 1, -1, 1)

Have a look for an unchanged file, to find out where it should go, not in terms of line numbers but in terms of the lines that go before and after.

could there be changes in other files that affect how this section of code works.

I am afraid that if the original admin changed this, he may have changed other stuff.

Get Beyond Compare, at http://www.scootersoftware.com. It's not free but you will have 15 or 30 days of trial.

There's a free program out there called TextDiff (or something to that effect). I've been using it at work for some time and its sufficient. Though I will admit that its not nearly as robust as Beyond Compare, it should suffice for small jobs... of course, so will the 15-day trial.

Ok let me shed some light on this topic. I believe this problem started while upgrading to the last version of snitz. Some of the files I copied to make the upgrade didn't take for whatever reason. I had other problems that made me realize this. These problems where fixed by reuploading their files. Can someone tell me where to find a good copy of the inc_func_posting.asp file?
