I don't have the old version :(

Have you tried to upload all the new files again and make sure that you overwrite the files and then install the product again overwriting the one you just installed? Sometimes it works. I've also installed the recent articles hack myself and I can view it logged in. So maybe there is something else wrong here like a current hack is not playing nice with the updated articles version. Something else you can try is disable each hack one by one and see if you still get the error. If you don't then you know the hack you just disabled is conflicting with this new version of the article hack. If you find the hack that is causing a problem try upgrading it to the latest version with all the hacks enabled. Then see if you still have the prob with the articles if so, you may want to temp or perm disable that particular hack or try adn find a hack that is similar to it and install it instead.

Edit: I also noticed that this hack is not compatible with vb 3.7. Are you running 3.7? If so yo may want to upgrade to 3.8. I'm using ti with 3.8.3 with no probs.

3.8 is what I am on. It must be another hack that is messing with it; I just have no clue which one :( This problem only arose when I upgraded to the last version (1.9?)

EDIT: Working for now. I will inform if the encoding error comes back.

How can I get rid of the redirection message? Thank you :)

There are a number of issues preventing this from happening atm.

Change the phrase 'article'

Or if you only want to change the text in navbar edit plugin 'Links' and replace $vbphrase[articles] with your preferred text

Use direct link to articles.php rather than forum

Or find in Plugin 'Article Forum'
and replace with:

Do you know how to get this mod working for multiple forums in different category heirachies?
