Quick Edit Not Working

[da_judge]

Right making new Style works... so what part of the template is causing this... i tried looking at Editpost part and its not there.. any ideas

Is there a way to disable quick reply in vBulletin so users do not come across this, again I ask if the "go advanced mode" could be set as default in the interface since the question was not answered......

The solution is to either disable mod_security or modify the configuration of mod_security and remove the offending rule.

If you want to disable QE:
AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> Message Posting and Editing Options -> Quick Edit: No

Thanks Marco, that worked for me and now "quick edit" is disabled, I never did like it anyway, I hate having to switch to "go advanced" when posting!

I tried that htaccess stuff, but it gives me a 500 error.

How do you add it to an existing htaccess file?

I think you input the code like this
<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST OffZ
</IfModule>

correct code is without "Z" like this

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

Since this persists - whats the down side to adding the HTaccess as described? Im not interested in completely disabling mod_security

[Zachery]

It only disables it for the direcctory you add the file to, mod_security is helpful but not when it stops your site from working correctly.

how do you create or edit the existing htaccess file in newbiese language?

[obmob]

You can always search for it

Hi,

Same problem here: quick reply and quick edit will hang

We have confirmed that this problem is caused by mod_security. You can disable mod_security by creating or editing an .htaccess file and adding this code

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST OffZ
</IfModule>

Then upload this file to your main forum directory.

My understanding is that this will disable the whole module in the forum directory right? Instead could you provide more information about the culprit mod-security filter?

I know vBulletin is quite a secure software but it is quite a risky workaround IMO.

Simply follow these instructions and disable the quick edit and posting function, I have not had any problems at all without it.

I never liked it from day one, so I have it disabled on all my forums.

Here is another thread on this quick edit vBulletin bug.
