Could this be made to work with vB 3.8.6, or is there any reason it won't as-is?

This worked great, although I only let it work for about 10 mins.... then disabled it. It made the forum so slow, but it did change all the <3 symbols to :heart: which is what I wanted it to do! Thanks!

Hi Borbole

I've tried running this mod on 4.2 and Rebuilding Post Cache

I have these symbols: ¢â‚¬â„¢ all over the oldest parts of our forum. I'm trying to replace the text with nothing, is this possible?

Dave

Ignore, fixed by escaping the character I wanted to replace. Great mod, thanks.
