My recommendation for dealing with things like this is to paste the html into something like wordpad, then use fractor's "search and replace" to convert all those entries to what they need to be. So it would be: Replace: "{td}" with "{td style="border: 1px solid #000; padding: 3px;"}" Then you just repaste the new html over the old on on the forum post. This is what I did when updating the battlez indices (and also how I completed the task in under a day).
I do a similar thing, except I use NotePad and the 'Replace' function ... 6 replaces; 2 each for URL tags, IMG tags and COLOR tags. What usually takes most of the time on a thread is doing the updates and checking to see that they came out correctly. Because using 'Preview' thoroughly bolloxes the table code, removing the white space carriage return/line feeds, and adding in unnecessary garbage explicitly specifying 100% of an image to be displayed. So I use pure 'BBCode' mode, SAVE ... then go back and re-edit if I missed something. What I miss most frequently is that NotePad adds in carriage return/line feeds (twice!) for strings in excess of 256 characters; and I have to return to take them out.

I have verified that all of the "The Miniature Masterz" Announcements have been updated to Version 5 standards. I am taking a break to do some reading, and have dinner before starting in on "Honey, I Shrunk The Gruntz" Custom Level Announcements.

The default Windows NotePad is a very poor choice for any kind of more serious work, especially because of its nasty habit of breaking single long lines into separate ones. My personal recommendation would be using this program instead: notepad-plus-plus.org/

I am currently working on High Rollerz, and have discovered (already!) several Announcements requiring a "Version 5 update". For some of those I have updated, I also provided images for the Statz Info table entries ... thanks to Tomalla's GruntzScrooge program.
Time to get ready for my match ... leaving off at Ali Baba.
Still working in "High Rollerz", but family matters are calling me ... leaving off at Let's Do The Timebomb
Still working in "High Rollerz", but lunch is calling me ... leaving off at Stargate 5 Casino
Well, it is now obvious to me that "High Rollerz" was never truly addressed for necessary changes due to the Version 5 update! I seem to tire so easily lately, though, so the next Announcement to work on is Bridge Team ... probably after the baseball game (and dinner).
I am really getting tired of "Version 5 update"s! Still working in "High Rollerz", having just finished Ballz And Dice ... and have no idea how many threads are left in the area. (Just checked ... there are ten more.) I will be off-line for at least four hours ... probably closer to five hours as a chauffeur for my wife's hair appointment ... and reading part of four books just delivered from the library and Paperback Swap Club.
