MyBB Hacks

My ulitmate goal is to some how wrap a block of text so that the line breaks with in it are not replaced by <br />.

How ever i've got half a work around by trying to add a mycode that

replaced /n

with

(blank nothing nada zip)

which when i use the tester helpfully provided works...but when i hit save it says that i need to replace it with something which in this case doesnt work at all for me.

[color=#cc0000]The following errors were encountered:[/color]
You did not enter a replacement.
Here is my site.

http://thehubrp.com/mybb/showthread.php?tid=4

as you can see on the top post some how some way i managed to get the change to stick for a hot second but then when i clicked save again like an idiot it was lost and all subsequent trials have failed.

Conversely if someone can point me to where the heck in the code that /n is being replaced with <br /> so i can comment that bugger out i'd be happy with that work around.

And even better if someone could point me to how to wrap a section of a posted message so NOTHING DOES ANYTHING TO IT (besides posting lol) i'd be eternally grateful.

Thank you all very much! I know i'm super newbish here!

(usecase: running an RP site where the users are trusted to post templates for their posts, which include css and JS possibly all need to run with out interference. I'm happy to hack the files, just keep running into dead ends when i try and find what exactly is causing this. )
Just search inc/class_parser.php for "<br" and you'll eventually find it.
An alternative is to just strip out newlines before the MyBB parser gets to it - that way, nothing gets replaced with <br> because there's no newlines.
Stopping the parser doing anything can be a bit tricky as the parser doesn't really understand 'exclusion zones' or the like.
