Hi, I run a message board on an information site for a Mud. Now you might be wondering what a mud is, and its just basically a game online thats all text.
Well, heres my problem, all of my links on my site use the semicolon, which is interpreted by the game as the same as hitting the enter key.
Is there any way that I can have ubb change all of its ;'s to &'s so that I can better service my members? Thanks :-)
The semicolons are required for XHTML validation - the users copying & pasting URLs will need to do the substitution themselves. (The UBB will work with both ampersands and semicolons.)
1. & can be used instead, it's even a W3 recommendation.
2. Dark, whenever you see ";", open the correct template/cgi file and change it to &. When you'll stop finding links with ;, it probably means you're done. Don't forget to also check daily topics and search, and ask your members if THEY can find anything with ";".
