…let the bug spotting begin.
Ubb quotes from before the switch don’t work. That is, the HTML for quotes is visible in posts made before the switch.

In the “Time to move beyond UBB?” thread, it’s sticking my posts in the middle of the thread, before posts that were already there.

If you’re on the most recent thread and click “Next Thread”, the software take you right back to that same page, instead of to a “There are no newer threads” page. Is that the way the vB software works?
As for the old ones, in the source, the < and > are actually the ascii escape sequences for them. For what reason, I can’t possibly fathom. 
Which reminds me of another thing to test: & œ ±
Here’s an interesting bug. I’ve noticed a lot of resurrected threads from the week of the hack. At first, I thought people were just bringing them back to talk about what they did in the 8 hours the board was down, but here’s one that doesn’t even have a new post in it, but was up close to the top of the list in MPSIMS.
Oh, and I didn’t notice that you needed quotes in the URL tags until now. I’ve only been here for ten minutes, and already the Preview feature has saved me.
Does stacking vBulletin codes work like UBB?
Do ASCII codes still work? « æ &38#; & ° ¾ © »

HEY! We’ve got PREVIEW!
Does vBulletin collapse embedded spaces on a line.
By my last post I see that it leaves
blank lines alone,
not collapsing them down to 1 line as UBB did.
Interesting.
Hmmm? (My first four lines were indented 10 spaces, the next line four spaces, and this line 18 spaces.)
And this?
&&&&&Or this?
#38;#38;#38;#38;&Or this?
And does the amper tag work? ?
Conclusions:
Ampersand Alpha characters work.
Ampersand Numeric characters may not work or I may be entering them wrong.
vBulletin does not collapse blank lines that are entered with the ENTER button.
vBulletin does collapse leading spaces on a line that are not protected by the instruction.
I will now test spaces internally on a line (not leading spaces.)
I will type fifteen spaces following the colon: !!
« » & œ
seems to be working according to preview.
But what happened to the “jump to last unread post” thing?
Or did I dream that? 'Cause I remember seeing it late Friday night, and it mighta been just a fantasy.

Now this is strange, to me anyhow. When I typed the asii codes and hit preview, the post preview section showed the codes Ityped but the your reply section was converted to the symbols.

After looking at the source, I’m not too sure what it’s doing. I type in the sequence of ascii codes, then previewed them and reported what I saw. Then I entered the same sequence without previewing them and they showed up on the screen as the codes.
The source for the page shows that the previewed < was converted to < (that hopefully came out & l t ; )and displayed on the screen as < . But when it hadn’t been previewed the < was converted to the ascii code for an ampersand + #60; so that it displayed on the screen as it was typed.
Another interesting thing is that the previewed [ was converted to a real [ rather than the ascii code for one.
This seems to be way to confusing to be useful. I don’t think we are going to be able to use ascii codes to explain how to type things in any more.
