Create a script that identifies posts with broken syntax from the old forum and replace it with the proper one.
Create a script that identifies broken image links (both new and old) and correct them.
Super easy fix. Takes zero effort.

It’s a super easy fix too. It won’t take any time or resources so if they don’t then it feels like they on purpose messing with us

No, it’s literally a 30 second job for the ai team to fix.

All good, my English is broken half the time. 
So, as it turns out, the easiest to fix are images hosted externally cough -
Simply opening the post in edit mode causes the links to reindex for preview, and the pictures start popping up UNLESS the borked formating tabs have attached to your link, in which case a delete and re-link fixes that.
I patched up the Haunted Harvest Halloween event album, and most of them started appearing as soon as I entered edit.
As for the images that were hosted in the old gallery, those are going to be a challenge - the links direct to autogen proxy, not the actual media.

Solid find.
The easiest fix is:
BEGIN;
UPDATE forum_posts
SET body_text = regexp_replace(body_text, ‘\[MEDIA=imgur\]([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)\[/MEDIA\]’, ‘
’, ‘g’)
WHERE body_text ~ ‘\[MEDIA=imgur\]’;
COMMIT;

Hi there!
Perhaps it is just me, but all the tables in older posts seem to be broken. I just visited two posts from a long time ago, that had a list (in form of a table) of players with their Meta Codex levels, and a list of players and their Sweat Gatherer profession levels. These are long lists, seemingly being updated, but it is impossible to enjoy amidst literally thousands of “<TD>”s, “</TD>”s etc etc. It seems that the parser does not work correctly, and provide a proper formatting of the tables. Again, perhaps this is just me and my browser (Firefox on Win 11), but on the off-chance it is not, it would be great to fix that. So far, I did not see any tables in new posts, so I can’t say if it is related to the migration of older posts to the new forum here. Just in case, I will create a simple table below to see and garner some feedback.

EXAMPLES:
Table build with forum editor:
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| A | 1 | a |
| B | 2 | b |
| C | 3 | c |
Table with raw HTML code:
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| A | 1 | a |
| B | 2 | b |
The “Preformatted Text” tab in the editor has no HTML option (this would anyway just color the text). It seems that the new forum uses either another markdown language, or that PCF posts were transferred in plain HTML. Both should be a quick fix. Thanks a lot!
UPDATE: It seems that upon “Saving” my post, both tables (that created with the editor option, and that created with plain old HTML) appeared as they should. So, the problem seems that something in the old posts is missing that prevents proper table formatting, as simply putting HTML works apparently fine in new posts.
