Search options

as with any forum, it's best to spend some time searching and browsing the existing posts before diving in with a post of your own!  for example, the answer to your question can be found in a Sticky thread at the very top of the Modifications forum:

http://punbb.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=10518

you'll find that option as a radio button in the Permission settings, in your Admin page..  i'm pretty sure it's there, anyway - i turned mine off the other day, so it definitely exists somewhere in the default installation..

well, someone just made it to my christmas card list!

thanks a lot pogenwurst - that did the trick!  i knew it didn't look right..  i may not know php, but even i could tell that

$str = str_replace(array('<', '>', '"'), array('<', '>', '"'), $str);

was basically replacing HTML tags with exactly the same things!  i just wasn't sure how to fix it..

weird thing is, i'm sure i didn't change this..  like i say, i don't know php, so i never just go messing around with code for the hell of it..  and none of the mod's i have applied have asked me to edit functions.php..  weird..

anyway - thanks to all concerned

well, as posted above the pun_htmlspecialchars is still there - the code i posted above was a direct cut & paste from my parser.php file..  i've just checked out viewtopic.php and parse_message is only mentioned once:

    // Perform the main parsing of the message (BBCode, smilies, censor words etc)
    $cur_post['message'] = parse_message($cur_post['message'], $cur_post['hide_smilies']);

which looks correct..  but as you can see from the link to my forum in the OP, my users can definitely use HTML at the moment

incidentally, it's a very new forum, only populated by my friends at present.. none of them have any degree of technical knowledge, so i'm sure it's not a deliberate "hack" attempt or anything like that by any of them..

any more suggestions?

well that's definitely still in there..  copy and pasted direct from my parser.php:

function parse_message($text, $hide_smilies)
{
    global $pun_config, $lang_common, $pun_user;

    if ($pun_config['o_censoring'] == '1')
        $text = censor_words($text);

    // Convert applicable characters to HTML entities
    $text = pun_htmlspecialchars($text);

and i've just checked - the only modification i have made to parser.php is from elbekko's Easy Custom Smilies..

god, i hope i can get this sorted
