Since the Archived forum was running on an ancient phpBB version which, furthermore, could not be run on any recent (and supported) PHP… and all of those out-dated software represented a security concern, I decided to update the Archived forum phpBB to the newest version. Which, of course, as any other jump “in future” with software, broke everything you could imagine: plugins, themes, posts, embedded codes, … Therefore, an avalanche of work was initiated: the plugins I disabled, the theme/style I changed to some default-ish phpBB with a few custom CSS bits, and posts are being repaired, hopefully.
