I like an escalator because an escalator can never break, it can only become stairs. There would never be an "Escalator temporarily out of order" sign, only an "Escalator temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience."

I hacked together a quick and dirty Firefox extension to take advantage of the new spangly auto-update-ness when you're looking at other webpages. I can't do the fancy auto-install link through BBCode, so if you want to use it you'll need to download this XPI file and then just drop it onto a Firefox window. It's basically just the VR Shoutbox embedded into the Sidebar, so all normal rules like the ten minute timeout still apply. If it times out, just hide and open the bar again. Use either View -> Sidebar -> VR Shoutbox or ctrl-shift-z to toggle it on and off.

Right, should work in IE now - all because it can't take a silly auto closing script tag. That was the cause of the blank-ness 
If it's still blank, log out, and log into VR again, should be OK then.

Modify the post, copy and paste it all into Notepad, click Edit -> Replace and replace "/forum/YaBB.pl?action=viewprofile;username=" with "/user/". The Replace All button is your friend
I'm going to kick your a*se RE: the new profile urls because it means I'm going to have to edit the Name list!

Yay for the new shoutbox, which appears to be working OK for me. But I'm going to kick your a*se RE: the new profile urls because it means I'm going to have to edit the Name list!

I've put it back to normal, and will fiddle behind the scenes...

Anyone who is getting stuck with one post - clear your caches, that will sort it out.
Shoutbox in the gallery should now work too

But there's formatting now, so it can be bypassed!

Just because it's Perl compatible doesn't mean it's exactly the same. [tt]preg_replace[/tt] will match as much of a string as possible, meaning if you have multiple tags, it will match everything between the first opening tag, and the last ending tag.
In Perl, you can use the [tt]//g[/tt] modifier at the end of your regex to make it match as many times as possible, meaning it 'correctly' matches multiple times (correct, as in it's what I want it to do)
[tt]preg_replace[/tt] doesn't support the [tt]//g[/tt] modifier, and you have to do some workarounds to get an effect that's similar. So I read here anyway:

In the end, I didn't bother and did it a different way - it's not as good, because it's case sensitive, and the url tags probably won't work if there is more than one in the message because of the same [tt]//g[/tt] problem.
function parseBBCode() {[br] $text = $this->text;[br] [br] $bbcodes = array();[br] $bbcodes[] = array("[b]","<b>";[br] $bbcodes[] = array("[i]","<i>" ;[br] $bbcodes[] = array("[u]","<u>" ;[br] $bbcodes[] = array("[/b]","</b>" ;[br] $bbcodes[] = array("[/i]","</i>" ;[br] $bbcodes[] = array("[/u]","</u>" ;[br][br] foreach ($bbcodes as $bbcode) {[br] $text = str_replace($bbcode[0],$bbcode[1],$text);[br] }[br][br] $text = preg_replace("/\[url=(http\:\/\/)?(.*)\](.*)\[\/url\]/si","<a href=\"http:\/\/\\2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external\" class=\"external\">\\3</a>",$text);[br][br] $this->text = $text;[br]}[br]
If you know of a PHP function that is better than [tt]preg_replace[/tt] for my needs, let me know
Doesn't PHP use the same regex syntax as perl if you use the right functions? Works fine for me..

By calling pcre_exec() multiple times with appropriate arguments, you can mimic Perl's /g option, and it is in this kind of implementation where \G can be useful.

No worries - doesn't matter what language you use really, PHP was designed for web use, so it stands to reason that it's 'better' for it.
Perl was designed for manipulating text, which is why it's the daddy for regexes. Since so much stuff is basically just 'text' (even images are) - Perl can be used everywhere.
It is a bit silly that PHP doesn't support it, but hey ho - It does the business, in the end

hehe, it's not about cred - it's about getting the job done. People who program in assembly are just making a lot more work for themselves, and whoever has to maintain the code after them.
Course it's about cred! Writing a sucky webserver on a TI-84 is a lot cooler than running a fully fledged one on a boring standard Dell PC.
Getting the job done is only second-rate. Why else do you think linux is a mess?

So… Posting a new thread is Fission Mailing… so I’m putting this here.

I know there aren’t many people looking at this anymore… but I have made the decision to stop paying for the VR hosting and to let the domain lapse.
