for some reason in ST, this shows up as it should with html set to off:

<p>Nvidia <a href="https://www.contentteller.com/  http://www.nordichardware.com/news,7708.html" target="_blank">has launched</a> the long-overdue nForce 780a chipset, which has an integrated graphics processor for Hybrid SLI. Follow the link for reviews.</p>

but in CT it doesn't, it will show up all the html tags, etc.

I completely forgot about these. No, you can’t use the raw fields in the templates after the data will not passed to the $insert array.

Is there any special reason why you want to enable HTML on all stories? Acquire should detect if a story previously used the HTML setting.

ok that didn't work as i wanted it to, the change worked but all the stories i imported from ST still won't display as html as its still using special chars in newsstory_story and newsstory_extendedstory.

all the stories now have newsstory_html set to 1.

should i just use newsstory_rawstory and newsstory_rawextendedstory or are there drawbacks to this?

Are you running PHP 5? Then you could add this in the PHP part of the template to turn text back to HTML:

$insert['newsstory_extra1'] = htmlspecialchars_decode($insert['newsstory_extra1']);

$insert['newsstory_extra2'] = htmlspecialchars_decode($insert['newsstory_extra2']);

etc...
