Cano2,
Please see post #41 above again. I edited it so the tags I was trying to show you show up now. Would there be a way to do the same thing during backup so it doesn't show the messes when using those tags? Maybe using the Disable vbcode hack that Firefly wrote? If there was a way to parse that before saving, then that would at least keep it from getting messed up in the backup process. Just a thought (although not a very good one, I'm afraid).

What you have found is a general problem I'm fighting with: The name "backup" normally implies that all relevant information is saved, and that it can be restored (which will be possible in the next release). vB does some extra processing to make the pm's look pretty. Of course you want the backup looking pretty too, but much of this processing can't be reversed, so restoring ain't possible anymore.
On the other hand, this hack is designed to be flexible and fit everybody's needs. For that reason it's template based, and you can chose wich filetype the backup should be. But how the messages have to be processed so that they look pretty depends heavily on that filetype. HTML ist of course the most popular filetype, so I can include as switch in the admincp which enables processing for html output (at least that which can be reversed), but I haven't found a real good solution for that yet (suggestions are allways welcome ).
