For reasons that remain a mystery (so far), BBcode isn't handling quote tags properly in my dev install. So what I'd really love to do is have Quote module do all that instead.
So far, I can test manually and it works fine (bbcode processes quote tags in all caps but Quote mod does the lowercase ones).
So here's my question: when the import process gets to the "fixing bbcode stuff" (I paraphrase) part, what is it actually doing?
More specifically: if I disable quote tag processing in bbcode module (which I've done), and then do an import, will the quote tags get processed by Quote module? (I'm assuming here that I'd replace all those vBulletin uppercase QUOTE tags w/lower case ones prior to import)
Can you think of any reason why this wouldn't work?
(FWIW, I've found several imported threads with broken CSS... page looks dreadful, but in every case so far what happened was somebody started a quote w/all caps QUOTE tag and closed it with a lowercase one... BBcode module doesn't handle this well presently)

liam mcdermott commentedIt is trying to get the speech marks out, I experienced exactly the same problem as you. Whether it's effective, I'm not sure. :)
That will work. vB to Drupal only fiddles with BBCode during the import, and it just tries to remove the speech marks, it doesn't use the bbcode module or anything clever like that.

aharown07 commentedThanks. I believe I'll attempt the final import so that Quote mod handles that rather than BBcode
Speech marks are what we call quotation marks in the US, I'm guessing?
