Question Horizontal Rule conflict

New user of Kunena, and we have come across an interesting dilemna.

We have log posts that get made several times a day by a person that isn't me, and I use these to copy/paste into a statistics program to read those logs and calculate our attendance and dkp etc for a gaming guild.

The top of the log looks like this:


[Sun Jan 29 16:30:13 2017] Players in EverQuest:
[Sun Jan 29 16:30:13 2017]

---

[Sun Jan 29 16:30:13 2017] [105 Deathcaller (Necromancer)] Niragul (Drakkin) <Township Rebellion> ZONE: Township Rebellion Village II, 200 Terminus Heights, Palatial Guild Hall
[Sun Jan 29 16:30:13 2017] [105 Spiritwatcher (Shaman)] Lemonadee (Iksar Skeleton) <Township Rebellion> ZONE: Township Rebellion Village II, 200 Terminus Heights, Palatial Guild Hall


The issue that we're having is that dashed line is being interpreted as a horizontal rule, which makes it skip when i do the copy and paste. because its missing , our statistics site thinks it is a badly formed log and rejects it.

Anyone have an idea how i can stop that conversion from happening or work around?

you'll see that even in the message above the series of hyphens is being converted to a horizontal rule.

We can't change that, because that hyphens are a default shortcut for bbcode, i suggest to use spaces.

Thanks for the response. I appreciate it, even if it wasn't the answer I was looking for. Unfortunately for us, we can't alter the dashed lines because it is generated by the game we play - not something in our control. We're looking for a workaround.

Also - is there any way to have a navigational button for previous thread, next thread, that type of thing?

Its something i'm finding i'm missing alot after using the forums now for a few days. (We came from SMF which had more features, but wasn't practical to continue using on our new site in conjunction with Joomla 3, etc, etc.)
