speaking of hosts format, i saw some of the lists in host format being flagged with the error, but the domains looks normal and are accepted by the gui as valid.
i got some of my lists form here hardly looks like garbage.
Many of these lists that I checked are in a format not compatible with Pi-Hole (i.e. not in HOSTS format). Do you have URLs for lists from this site that appear to be compatible with Pi-Hole?
Okay, not sure why I'm still being tagged here.
was about to tell you that re configure is retaining the lists, that are not standard, its not erasing them.

Then delete them.
We're not getting anywhere here. The lists didn't work before, they don't work now and they will not work in the future.
Make your closing statements, I'm closing this thread after the next post.
Those all work just fine.
so it needs to technically be one domain per line nothing else to be compatible?
Im going to have fun every time i re configure because it just restored lists i deleted that were migrated over and i had to delete again, im going to most likely wipe and restart.
Okay, well we're done here. End of the day, put crap in, get crap out.
Just because it says Pi-hole doesn't mean it's right.
