Help with version 1.1.4

[KeithMcL]

I'm not sure it this is the right forum to post in (if not, maybe a moderator can move it), but I recently purchased vBulletin v1.1.4 and am having a very small problem.

If someone enters inverted commas "" in a post the forum enters it's backslash (\) before it and this backslash is visible on the forums.

Can anyone tell me how to remove it please?

Thanks,

Ayup, many folks have this issue. You need to turn of 'magic quotes.' The way to do this varies depending on how PHP is installed on your machine, and what you have access to. PHP is installed as an Apache module. I didn't have access to the php.ini file, so I did this instead:

adding php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off line to ~/www/conf/srm.conf, or to a .htaccess file in the directory running the message board

There's a couple of variations as to what you add to a php.ini if you have access to it, do a search on threads from a couple of weeks ago on the issue.
