[KnightBob]

Hello,

When I converted my community to SMF, all me emoticons changed into this:
[img]http://vipermoddingteam.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/biggrin.gif\\\' class=\\\'bbc_emoticon\\\' alt=\\\'\\\' /]

Also, the all the users post count have been reset to 0.

You might get the post-counts right, if you go to Admin>Forum maintenance and "Recount all forum totals and statistics", Bob.

I'm not sure that I understand what you're saying about the smilies, I'm afraid.

I tried it, but is doesnt update the post count.

Before the conversion, was the emoticon:

Code: [Select]

:D. But after the conversion, all the emoticons changed into:

Code: [Select]

Yuk!

Sorry, mate. Not a clue about that one!

Ok, I will try if I can find a way to change all the simple.

Thank you for your help

Basically, you'd need to write a script that uses regular expressions to match and replace the bad code (pull the post from the database, find the bad code, find the alt text, replace the bad code with the alt text, update the post).
