As for re-using Season 1 league schedule, it once again got more arduous as for some reason formatting that MrJ and T-Lit used when sending official Season 1 schedule to threads, isn't recognized by my text editing program (while simultaneously, copy-pasting other text from BB forums does include essential formatting such as bolded text).
This creates another layer of challenge/work, as theoretically I could check out the Season 1 schedule and bold everything in it manually. But due to teams changing from Season 1 to Season 2 it's not as simple as just changing couple of names, because I couldn't then use replace function in text editing software to change team names, as it would likely remove/mess up bolding when replacing names (as there's no option to make replaced text automatically bolded or non-bolded), which is essential information in HGL league schedule.
Yes, maybe possible to use search and highlight function and then correct/change everything manually, but automated processes are preferred as they minimize risk for errors - humans after all make most of the errors when accomplishing manual tasks.
Also, if I'd bold everything in text editing software and eventually would get it done that way, of course, surprise surprise, BB text editor doesn't then recognize these bolded texts but I have to manually press ´B´ in BB text editor and cut-paste team name in schedule post manually for 120 times, while at the same time referencing another file about which was the team responsible for sending challenge (a.k.a. bolded team).
We could of course change the practice so that team responsible for challenging would be marked with # or something similar, but it wouldn't remove most problems. Frustrating and arduous at the very least.
Ideas are welcome, if you know how to retain formatting... I've tried to solve it without success. This was written also to give an example, how unexpectedly small hiccups and/or changes can change/affect something in a big way..
