Good idea shunut! :)

Pretty sure it's Cyb - Advanced Permissions Mod. Try disabling it and let us know if the issue is gone. Thanks.

Sure enough, I disable Cyb and guess what?

No forum selected when viewed from New Posts. Unfortunately, I need the Cyb mod because our members were getting hit hard with PM spam that contained viruses.

Could always write some code to set f to null if on that search page and using that template?

Lynne, how can we do that? I'm not a programmer so I don't know what code are you talking about.

Unfortunately, I know nothing about the modification, so I can't really suggest anything more concrete than that. Have you let the dev know about this issue? He may have a fix he can post for it.

The dev of that product is Valter (aka Cyb) who unfortunately never replies to members questions in his mods (no support).

Is there any way to fix it by modifying a vBulletin template or file? Maybe we can define that the URL to show for announcements in New Posts should be announcement.php?f=X&a=Y

Where X is the forumid of a public forum that we can manually define.

It's gonna be the same method to set the forumid to something and have it says f=x that it would be to have it set to null and say f=

Basically, somewhere he is setting a forumid for some reason, and you need to null that out after it is being used.

When you get a bit of free time (if possible) could you please perform a quick review of the source code of that product in order to see where the problem might be? Here is the link to the product: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=201285

Thanks!

I just took a quick look at it. They guy has got over 40 plugins for that product and there is just no way I can go through all those. I'd *guess* is may have something to do with a plugin using one of the search hook locations. You can try turning them off and see if that fixes the issue.

shunut, were you able to find a workaround for this issue?
