Hi,
I'm having a bit of a nightmare with the Yahoo YUI Security Exploit issue.
I reported the problems I was having with search engine traffic being maliciously directed elsewhere and was relieved to see a fix published here;
I haven't got the time to fight the inevitable vBulletin issues in upgrading, so I opted for the simple patch;
Unfortunately, this simple 'fix' is causes mayhem. Users have reported issues in mass when I perform that edit... screenshotting the likes of the below;
Avatars dont display, and the it causes the dreaded “black diamond question mark” symbol for any 'special character' - such as a question mark.
Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.
My forum is 4.1.2

To manually fix versions prior to vBulletin 4.1.3 and 3.8.7
Edit one line in class_core.php file located in /includes/class_core.php ; find the following line “define('YUI_VERSION', '2.7.0'); // define the YUI version we bundle” ; replace this line with “define('YUI_VERSION', '2.9.0'); // define the YUI version we bundle”
In AdminCP; Go to “Options” => “Server Settings and Optimization Options” ; find “Use Remote YUI” option and in the dropdown switch to a server of your choice, Google or Yahoo.
