I have just checked on my forum and those characters are inserted fine in forms for me.

Try attached file.

I'm getting the error:

"You do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation."

I can only assume this means the permissions are configured wrong but, again, I've triple checked the forum permissions, usergroup permissions and verified with vB support and it's all configured properly.

Does the error come up after you click 'Manage Attachments'?

Does the user have permission to view forum, the thread is being created within?

Does the user have permission to post in the forum the thread is being created within?

Sorry about all the questions, but it's the only way i'll be able to find a solution because i cannot replicate the problem at the moment.

Yes.

Yes, though the forum is hidden.

Yes. And if they fill out the form it posts properly. It's only the Manage Attachments that isn't working.

Would it be possible to add a user to a special user group after they have completed the form? if so how would one go about doing this?

Here's a fix:

1. Edit Form -> Alter Forum to one where users can post threads and attach files
2. Create the following vBulletin Plugin via AdminCP
   • php code
     PHP Code:

     ---

     if ($fid == 43)
{
$forumid = 6;
$dataman =& datamanager_init('Thread', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY, 'threadpost'); 
$dataman->set_existing($threadinfo);  
$dataman->setr('forumid', $forumid);  
$dataman->pre_save(); 
if (count($dataman->errors) > 0) 
{ 
    foreach ($errors as $error)
    {
        $errorss .= $error. "<br />";
    }
    $errormessage = "Form failed to submit. The following error(s) occured: <br /> ".$errorss;
    eval(standard_error($errormessage));
} 
else 
{ 
$dataman->save();  
$foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($forumid);
$threadinfo = fetch_threadinfo($newpost['threadid']);
mark_thread_read($threadinfo, $foruminfo, $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'], TIMENOW);    
}
}
