I'm stuck at a certain point in updating the Blu-ray Picture Quality Tiers due to the new forum platform of Huddler. I can't update it at all without seriously affecting the format and/or content. When the site switched over from the old software to the new redesign, the Tiers momentarily disappeared due to the complex BBCode used to implement its distinctive look, until someone from Huddler's support team pulled it back from the abyss at my request.
That was great, but the list is due for a massive update now and I can't edit it without losing all the formatting and links. The raw BBCode for each post used on the Tiers is autogenerated from an offsite database and then manually edited into AVSforum each time there is a change.
I've certainly tried everything I can think of, but here is what I get with three different approaches.
1. This is what happens if I strip all the formatting from the raw BBCode and post it under the BBCode editor:

I would rather not have the PQ Tiers lose all its links and code. An enormous amount of time and effort by dozens of people have gone into it.
2. This is what happens if I post the same raw BBCode in the RichText Editor:
http://www.avsforum.com/t/1425229/picture-quality-tiers-research-and-testing/0_60#post_22319380
Obvious mess where we get the links back but the format is so awful that it's useless.
3. This is what happens if I post the raw BBCode under the BBCode editor:
The post does not show up, but the data is clearly on AVSforum as I can go in and see it when I go to edit it. This is what happened when the forum switched software platforms and someone from Huddler was able to completely recover it, fully keeping the links and proper formatting. I simply have no idea how they did it or how to duplicate the feat.
