Fixed Youtube Link Not Getting Parsed Using IPBoard Importer

[Gator]

Affected version

XF1.5/2.0

I imported many posts that had YouTube videos in them, but now the threads are blank

I've just knocked up a quick test script which performs the exact replacements we make on IPS post content on your original post content above and it became this:

[B]You can rate the video here: [URL="https://www.the-armory.net/videos/view-302-valerian-final-trailer-extended-2017/"]VALERIAN Final Trailer (Extended) 2017[/URL][/B]

Which should render like this:

With that in mind, I can't reproduce this. Though, at the same time, I can clearly see there is a problem.

I think really the only way forward is if you're able to share, at minimum, the IPS database and we'll do some more testing. We're gearing up towards a XF 1.5.x release so if it's something you can share fairly quickly then that'd be appreciated.

If anything, these should just be converted to a standard link. You mention the link is removed, though, that doesn't sound right.

We did identify the cause of this and the fix is included in 1.5.15.
