Why doesn't this work

[Shadow666]

This is in the template:

<phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">{vb:rawphrase test_x_area}</phrase>

This is the phrase:

<phrase name="test_x_area" ><![CDATA[{1} Test Area]]></phrase>

This is what is been displayed:

%1$s Test Area

The syntax for a phrase is totally different in vB4. Have you tried a search in the templates to see what it is like now? example:

old: <phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">{vb:rawphrase test_x_area}</phrase>

new: {vb:rawphrase test_x_area, {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}}

Lynne, thanks for that.

Works great now.
