Issue: Strip all font, size and color bbcodes from wiki

A bit of an easy script to write. But I wasn't aware of this vBulletin setting. If this is the case, then it's a bug: VaultWiki should not apply the user preference when the user contributes to wiki pages. Please let me know where to access this setting.

It turns out that this was an addon that allowed users to set their preferences in vbulletin options (font, font size, font color)
I removed the addon last year, because the mass of unneeded bb code caused issues with VW. The main issue was that bb code tags sometimes got mixed up so that legitimate tags opened within a font tag and closed outside a font tag. I remember we had discussions and bug reports about this issue.
The addon has been installed on my site for years, so there is a lot of problematic bb code left.

Do you remember the name of the add-on, so I can add a check for it and ignore it if users still have it installed?

Its mostly a matter of changing vb settings.

That add-on is written in such a way that no input data or post data is ever modified. It simply adds inline CSS styles to the postbit template. For this reason, unless you used a different add-on or had modified it on your own, the default vBulletin editor behavior would typically be used.

I can only see it adding font, size, etc because of these settings if and only if the text was copied from an existing post, by highlighting the output HTML (not the editor) and then pasting that into the WYSIWYG editor for a wiki page. In general this will cause problems with any WYSIWYG solution, and is why many of them offer a button to remove formatting or paste without formatting.

However, I still agree that a tool to remove unwanted BB-Code tags from pages could be useful to make it easier for moderators to enforce specific coding standards for their wikis.

Weird. The addon allows users to change their usercp options so that all future posts are set to a specific color, size and font. See: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/attac...2&d=1207461161

Doesnt really matter much though. As you say, its the unwanted tags should be removed with a tool.

As this is an easy script to write, could you schedule it for one of the upcoming feature releases? i.e. 4.0, 4.1 ?
I think it wiki be very useful to bulk clean up our wikis.
