bbPress.org

Some time ago, a forum I’m on a lot had it’s bbPress updated. Lots of stuff got fixed by that, but even more broke. Mostly plugins, for an example, the old PM plugin doesn’t seem to support line breaks anymore. Nor does quotes within HTML world at all. As an example, if I’d write <a href=”url” I’d get <a href=”url”” (same with spaces) with a few extra troubles.

So my question is this simply, what is the recommended way to fix a forum with many bugs. Is it smarter to just update the PM plugin to the latest version, even though old PM’s will be removed? Or is it possible to fix linebreaks within PM’s? And how would I go about fixing the quote within HTML problem?
