The quotation marks around the hex codes on my colour tags screw up the code on the mirror, making the colours not appear. I thus have to go in and manually delete every damn quotation mark in the code of a pesterlog. THIS IS INCREDIBLY TEDIOUS AND ANNOYING.

Oh god it really really is

[The Mather1]

I've got a tip for you, use a text editor, paste the pesterlogs with code and all into it and use the Ctrl+F > Replace function to replace the tags with quotation marks with versions without them.

[Snowyowl]

The Mather makes a good point. This sort of repetitive boring task is exactly what we invented computers for.

[Great Pikmin Fan]

For future pesterlogs on the forums, don't use quotes around the colors. You don't have to use quotes on this forum. You also don't need to use hex codes.

"[color=red]Like so.[/color]" becomes "Like so."

Perhaps, but the forum also regards some colors differently, for example [color=cerulean]cerulean[/color] becomes this

Yeah, I see how that suddenly is way different from [color=#004182]this[/color] which becomes this.

[humbleElitist]

regex.
s/\"//
alternatively
s_\"__
or if you just want to remove them within color tags:
replace
[\[<]c=\"?(.*?)\"?[\]>]
with
[c=$1]

do those work?

I'm sorry, but your post just there has made absolutely no sense to me. :v

In other news, the replace in a text editor solution works just fine, so I'll just use that. Thanks!

And since I was given a way to make the background of pesterlog spoilers white, both problems have been solved and I can now just blaze through this as much as I want I guess??

in short:
stupidly overcomplicated solution to a simple problem
(that is not stupidly complicated for other problems)
it lets one do complicated condition find and replace things.
so if you wanted to replace any instance of a three letter triplet repeated three times with it once reversed, you could use
replace (([a-zA-Z])([a-zA-Z])([a-zA-Z])){3} with $3$2$1 or \3\2\1 (depending on which version you use)

tl;dr: I gave a much too complicated solution to a problem.

[Varkarrus]

You can also just let fans do it. If everyone contributes it'd get done.

[Ziddia]

I could have a go at mirroring it some later.

[simon.clarkstone]

Why doesn't the mirror site accept them anyway?

[Matrix]

You mean the quotation marks? I was told that it was a bug.

Update prepared. Router on the fritz. On tablet, mooching wifi off some poor sap with an unsecured router. Update will be postponed until further notice.

[Destruction Dragon 360]

Well ain't that a kick in the pants.

[Matrix]

Nevermind that bullshit. Router is suddenly working again, just as inexplicably as it was not working. ELECTRONICS, Y U SO FIDDLY?

Update incoming.

[Destruction Dragon 360]

Well ain't that a kick in the pants. Except now instead of the ones being kicked, the roles are reversed and we're doing the kicking.

Combine bunny corpse with computer.

Alchemize your computer with a bunny corpse

> Head + Computer

Bunny corpse and computer. Definitely.

Felanka: Combine HB's head, bunny, and holo-top.



You make the RABBIT EARS RECEIVER.

This thing is completely ridiculous! It is PERFECT. You will be all standing around in this dumb helmet doing computer stuff, and people around you will be all like, "What the fuck is Felanka wearing!?", and all the while you will just be sitting in your antique television set, chuckling.

And when you say antique, you really do mean antique. Possibly even ancient! Antennae!? The model must be from like at least a thousand virui ago. Well, that might be stretching it a bit. Seven hundred? Bah, you don't know exactly. You could ask Anzar, but, well.

=>

In all the alchemization excitement, you forgot to actually check your computer for messages, and now you see that someone had indeed been trying to contact you.

Felanka: Check messages.

FINALLY

BE THE HACKER CHICK

[Milksweet]

> Be the hacker chick like you've never been the hacker chick before. Be the hacker chick so much you'll wish you could be anything else only because you won't be able to believe how unbelievably much you are being her right then. The hacker chick won't even know what was her.

[negativeProximity]

Be the PANTS.

Of the hacker chick.

Or the other chick I guess...

Just be the pants.
