  • Its been highlighted that the list on the Locks That Work thread is no longer there ......I didn't even know this.

    But important locks were listed there, that have been deleted - like the Abus Granit Extreme.

    Was this list saved anywhere, or just casually discarded?

  • The list is there, it's the first post: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/144109/

    What am I not seeing?

    After the migration to Microcosm, and specifically the change in format from BBCode to Markdown, the list that was there was broken... really badly formatted and unreadable.

    So I re-formatted it from BBCode to Markdown. Just literally took out asterixes that were additional formatting and tidied up indentation so that it displayed as numbered or bullet lists as appropriate. There were also lots of line breaks in the wrong place, and attempts to do numbered lists where the numbers are repeated... all of which Markdown treats differently from BBCode and caused the layout to fundamentally break (to the degree that the first post was actually unreadable).

    The system keeps the original list, but it will not render it properly because there were an enormous number of asterixes (the BBCode for bold, italic and underline gets converted to the Markdown equivalent and sections like this broke the formatting in fundamental ways: [ B ][ U ][ I ]18mm[/ I ][/ U ] Kryptonite New York[/ B ] [ B ]M-18 [/ B ][tied with], it even thinks that tied with is an unmatched BBCode tag and that line looks like this to Markdown: ****18mm** Kryptonite New York** **M-18**) and brackets mismatched around links (where the bracketed comment butted onto the link), etc. I'll pull a copy and manually compare to see whether the format script I ran over it dropped anything. I used about 20 regular expressions to tidy it up given the length of it and the mess it was in, it's possible that one of those dropped something, but I have the old version to compare with so I'll manually check it.
