Weird Posting Problem
 

I have come across a problem that happens in all my forms...

If you copy and past something into a post (say from another site, word, etc) that post will get cut off after special characters such as ' " -

So if I copied/pasted an article that had Player's Union (example) the post would save only as Player. the rest would be cut off. if you go to edit it the rest isnt there. This happens in the forums and also when I create a page with Logicians webtemplates hack so It seems to be a vbulletin problem as opposed to a hack problem.

This is not a problem with normal vBulletin, disable all your modifications.

You can do so by adding:
To the start of the second line of config.php

If your issue persists, create a New Style with No Parent Style and test again.

Finally, if you still have your issue, upload all the non-image vBulletin files.

Sounds more a problem caused something like mod_security or Suhosin/Hardened PHP..

Will try and see what happens - will post if problem not resolved.

In the case of the above not working - I really have no idea what this is :confused:

This is just so weird - I can type a post that has those characters and there is no issue - however If I copy/paste then it breaks down.

Ok - I disabled hooks - not fixed
Upgraded to 3.72 - redid all the files still have the problem.

This is what I need to do to post a copied item.

1) Post the item
2) edit
3) repaste info in the post edit
4) save

when I go through that process it will be fine. It wont work if I copy/paste with bbcode...this means I have to go to the post on my other site, copy as is (no bbcode) then paste in my second site...

Addtional Ideas?

You can ask your host if any of these are installed on the server.

You can also check the Problematic Webserver Modules under "Diagnostics" under the Maintenance tab in the Admin CP.

I get this

AJAX Unicode Issue Yes
Results
The above setting will indicate if mod_security is preventing some AJAX requests from being submitted to vBulletin. If this shows Yes then you either need to disable mod_security or change the AJAX settings with the vBulletin Options and disable Problematic features.

I dont want to turn AJAX off - any suggestions what I should do? Im not really sure what this stuff means.

I 'disabled problematic ajax features' and still have the problem.

I added this to the top of my .htaccess file to turn off mod_security when I got that same notice.
