    Contact your host to resolve this.
    I run 4 VB forums on this dedicated server. All set up the same. Only one has shown up with this issue this morning. All the other forums are running fine -- same host, same server, same mods same everything.

    Open up global.php and below <?php on a new line add:

    ini_set('output_buffering'false);
    while (
    ob_get_level()) {ob_end_clean();} 
    At least, I hope this solves that issue. It started happening on my site when I started adding too short plugins. like echo "hi"; would trigger it.

    Same thing has happened to me today. I can't find any changed files and I uninstalled the one new mod I had installed. Forumhome just won't display.

    I tried disabling every mod but it didn't help. Then I turned off the Hook system and that made forumhome come back.

    I can't find anything that's changed except the one mod I installed yesterday (which was working yesterday). So, nothing's changed with that mod removed.

    Hello Checkypoint,
    I saw a few websites with the same error in the past days due to an hack that had modified some php files. First, try scanning your vbulletin files using vBulletin diagnostic tools for changed/edited files. If that finds nothing, check all files edited recently in your machine. If you are on Linux using find with mtime will help (ex. find . -type f -mtime -2 will look for files edited in the past two days).

    Otherwise, it could either be a modification you have just installed that requires some file editing, which in vB 3.5.x were more common, that is outputting some stuff.

    Hope this helps!

    Mkay, thanks for everything.

    Try disabling your modifications/plugins and see if you still have this problem.
    Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

    PHP Code:
    define('DISABLE_HOOKS'true); 
    Still getting the same error. =[ Anything else I can do?

    I'll try that right now, Lynne. I've already contacted my hosts and asked them about it and they said they did nothing of the kind.

    I will try that now. Thank you for the quick responses! I will update this post in just a few minutes saying whether or not it worked/didn't work.

    Edit: I'm still getting the same Content Encoding Error. Is there anything else I can try?

    Try adding this to your config.php file:
    PHP Code:
    DEFINE('NOZIP'1); 
    Whoops, nevermind, floris knows the answer.

    I'm using Firefox 3.5.5 and have been having this problem for the last week. I can't even get to my forum homepage, so I can't go into the Admin CP or anything.

    Please, any help would be great.

    Thanks in advance,
