(Technically this belongs in the "Forums" forum, but I'm betting more of you will see it here.)
If you've ever posted a story (or anything else of reasonable size) to the forums while they were still on ezBoard/Yuku, you may want to find your post(s) and replace them with a clean archive copy of the work. One of the most annoying things that Crapatalk did when it converted the boards to its own system was it mangled big stories. And not consistently, either -- as I think I've mentioned before, it seemed to have about four or five different mangle modes. For instance -- Rev Dark? All the Thibor stuff I've come across in the last week or so has had all its quote marks removed. Why? Who knows? Maybe they were bad for Crapatalk's business model.
Line wrap issues seem to be the most common symptom of Crapatalk conversion, but lots of other things can and have happened to big posts. I've been cleaning things up as much as I can through SQL, but at some point I have to throw my hands up and turn the problem back over to you guys. This is that point.
Sorry to foist this on you.
