[QUOTE="MerricB, post: 7681384, member: 3586"] You most probably know by now that WotC is [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/content.php?2896-WotC-To-Close-Forums-Including-D-D-and-M-tG"]closing its D&D, M:tG and other community forums[/URL] on October 29th. Already, hundreds of WotC forum members have begun migrating over here to EN World, and as part of that process they are transferring content that would otherwise be lost. The content is being placed in the [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?538-WotC-Emergency-Evacuation-Lifeboat"]Emergency WotC Evacuation Lifeboat forum[/URL], the [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?363-Character-Builds-amp-Optimization"]Character Builds & Optimizations forum[/URL], and the [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?539-D-amp-D-Adventurer-s-League"]D&D Adventurer's League forum[/URL]. The Emergency WotC Evacuation Lifeboat Forum is a general storage area for any and all transferred content, regardless of its nature, until we get chance to sort through and move it all to where it needs to be. EN World and WotC member[B] MerricB[/B] has spent over 12 hours coding a tool which makes it incredibly easy and quick to transfer your content from WotC's forums to here. It preserves formatting, and copies entire threads, making transferring your content take a matter of seconds rather than hours. [PRBREAK][/PRBREAK] [h=4]Original Post[/h] This tool isn't complete yet, but it should get most of the formatting from a series of posts on a page on the Wizards forums, convert it to BB Code, which you can copy and post on EN World. [URL]https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=88B4DEB9530F6609!26300&authkey=!ABKffCWJONMiKjI&ithint=folder%2czip[/URL] It's a Windows program, written in C# on my Windows 10 machine - I have no idea if it'll work on previous versions of Windows. I know it won't work on Macs. Let me know if it works for you. The program is pretty simple: * put the URL of the page you wish to convert in the text box at the top of the page. * press "Convert" * Wait patiently for the page to load on the left-hand pane, and then for the BBCode to appear in the right-hand pane. * Press "Copy" to copy the text to your clipboard. At that point, you can do anything you like with it. The left-hand pane is a simple browser, so you could navigate using that; it'll convert a Wizards forum page automatically when you get to the next. If you spot any types of formatting it is not bringing over, let me know. (It removes any orders to turn the text white or black, and it doesn't understand certain types of colour codes at the moment.) The browser doesn't quite understand the Wizards log-in system on my computer. It might on yours. A row of post numbers will appear down the bottom of the page as well. * Press on a number to just cause that post to appear on the right-hand side; it also copies itself to your clipboard, ready for re-posting.
