I have a custom usergroup with about 100 people in it. A large number of them are having issues posting, while others in the same usergroup are having no problem at all posting. I thought maybe it was a browser issue, but users have tried multiple browsers with no luck. We have just recently moved to vBulletin so I don't know if this would have to do with the migration or something else. Any help would be great! Thanks!

And what is the exact issue they are having when posting?

Try disabling your modifications/plugins and see if you still have this problem.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit includes/config.php and add this line right under <?php
PHP Code:define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Tried this, still get the warning about minimum characters needed to post. Tried reducing it to 2 characters but it still asks for more characters even when you post more than that(again this is only a couple of users who seem to get this). It seems to be for posting in the forums, and sending PMs.Comment

Is there any chance that they are trying to post everything inside of the [quote][/quote] tags? That is one of the few BB codes that does not count towards the character count meaning that even if they quote 1000 character they'll still get the error message about it not being long enough.[URL="http://coolscifi.com"]Cool Sci-Fi[/URL="http://coolscifi.com"] | [URL="http://awalkerbit.me"]Walking Dead[/URL="awalkerbit.me"]Comment

Sorry about that. Run Maintenance > Diagnostics > Suspect File Versions. Are any *default* vbulletin files listed as not containing expect contents or as missing? If so, reupload your default files and then verify you don't get any of those results.
Create a new style with no parent:
- Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Add New Style
- Parent Style: No Parent Style
- Title: Default vBulletin
- Allow User Selection: Yes
- Save
Then browse the site using that totally default vbulletin style - do you still have the same problem?

I will have to try the new style when one of the users is on.Comment

Something is different between your custom style and default style. Are you saying *none* of the templates are modified on your custom style?

If you 'broke' the style (improper html) and those users are using a browser that isn't correcting it properly (or can't correct it), then that could cause issues.
