When I don't have HTML enabled (the preferred setting) for profiles, I get <br /> after every line in my profile fields and pre-formatted fields show as a block of HTML with no formatting. I'll try blocking them from being processed. If you want I can show screen shots.

I find it strange that line breaks would parse as <br /> that would then get htmlspecialchars()'d before the end of the parse. I'll see if I can find what causes this. A screenshot would be helpful since I don't quite know what a pre-formatted field would be other than a field that has been wrapped with the <pre> tag.

Here you go:

The World of Warcraft character list is what I mean by a preformatted profile field. It has a hook that takes a plain text list and expands it into an array and updates it.

You can see the <br /> in an attachment by Nerofix on vBulletin.com as well:

Finally, I don't want to ignore parsing on particular BBCodes. I want to ignore parsing on specific Profile Fields where there are already hooks doing the parsing for me.

Okay, for the next update I have fixed:

- multiplied (in html-enabled) and visible (in html-disabled) line breaks
- added a field to define which fields get parsed in the profile page
- forum announcement permissions are redundant (default permissions are on per-announcement basis)
- signatures in PMs
- a bunch of other profile field related bugs
- all forum rules

Still working on:
- extensive vbulletin blog testing

I am getting the </br> problems that Wayne mentioned above. Anytime I put a return to make a space (like creating paragraphs) the </br> shows up (and I just downloaded the latest version) :eek:

The <br /> fix has not officially been released yet. I am still working on fixing the blog and external issues.

I am running beta 5 and the only way that the bb-code works in the profile fields is if I allow HTML :eek:. But when I do allow HTML permissions, the </br> disappear. Looks like a bug.

Awesome! Thanks for the quick reply. And thanks for all the hard work. You have done an amazing job here! :)

As of tonight I fixed the problems with external feeds and printable threads (fixes still not public). If anyone can find any more bugs before I finish the blog fix, let me know. Also let me know about query counts. The mod has a query fallback if the usergroup info is still unavailable after every other check. Let me know if you have noticed query inflation anywhere.

Okay, after a few hours, I decided to post the fixes so far even though I have yet to cover the conflict with the blog. Remember that it's possible to bypass the permissions at a hook after the parser is created by setting:

This update contains fixes for a lot of bugs that have been overlooked in the past, mainly because people just didn't notice. This update fixes forum rules in non-editor pages, as well as a number of bugs where profile fields weren't parsing or were parsing too many times, and fixes the parsing in external feeds, printable versions of threads, and non-forum previews.
