I just have our forum upgraded to the IPB3.1.2 and found this problem.
When I click Edit on the old posts ("old" as in posted prior to the upgrade),
the post which originally contains only plain text and tags such as [ img][ url] right away turns out to be like this



Thank you in advance for any help!!!

You 'must' rebuild ALL your content including posts

ACP > System > Recount / Rebuild (left side) > 'Rebuild Content'

Then logout, clear ALL your cookies (IP.Board cannot do this, I've seen it happen a few times) then log back in again.

It works perfectly!!!! Thank you so much

You're welcome.

The issue this topic was opened for has now been resolved.

Presumably this would be done by Invision if you had them upgrade your forum for you?

No. You need to do it yourself, its not part of an upgrade as such really (as in your board will not break without it and its not part of the upgrader script) , having said that its only a matter of clicking and then leaving it to it (unless your board is huge, in which case using the shell script is better)

Yeah ive just found this out.

As i dont have SSH access, im currently trying to process 560,000 posts using the ACP, 1000 posts at a time. We're on 110,000 currently! fingers crossed. Shame it doesnt start with the most recent posts, as if it did the first 100,000 would probably do and as and when people access older posts they could just lump it! I may have to consider developing a pruning strategy at some point, but currently we have all the posts made from day one. Back in 2004.
