Error in thread migration. A warning to all guide makers.

When old threads get imported, any HTML code they may have contained will be invisible. This is because hyperlinks on this forum don't have a different color from any other text.

Everything appears to be just just plain text. This forum doesn't accept rich text so any word or PDF backups you may have won't help you with the layout. Copying from such a source would merely overwrite the old text without any coding at all so don't do that. You'll really have to go over all your code and change it manually. It is what it is.

Mods, this goes for your guides threads and the like as well. It's totally messed up now.

So read through your guides and make sure they are returned to their original state. The old code is still there, so it should be easy to remove the not working HTML and replace it with a new layout and some colors on the linking phrases.

-edit-
HTML does appear to be allowed, but only for hyperlinking. Layout code gets ignored. You'll have to go over those links and give them a blue color or something to show it's something you can click on.
