html in posts
 

have this very frustrating thing happening in my forum

Everything is hacked and custom, this is how I bought it. Im slowly cleaing it up but I really cant get my head around this:

User posts an application for staking and it works fine:

http://www.getastake.com/forum/showp...90&postcount=1

Then, when an application is approved.. all posts within the tread throw out the HTML tags:

http://www.getastake.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23074

its even doing it for administrators replies.... please help! My forum is getting messy :(

Mucho Love

try now :)

Looks like people are using HTML instead of BB codes, offhand.

its an automatic script that does the posting...

the weird thing is, its fine to start with... then it goes screwy once the thread is closed

Very odd. I'm at a loss. Someone with more knowledge will chime in soon.

Normally you couldn't post html unless html was allowed for that forum. I don't know why things would change when the thread was closed. Probably we'd need to see how the posting script worked to be able to figure it out.

and now the first post i gave has now got tags in it... weird.

I can quite happily give someone the script to look at if someone was willing to take a look - its a hellova mess though, the people who i bought it from apparently had no idea what they were doing.

Strange thing, it was working on their host - just snt on mine.

found a possible cause, as you said above... the threads are moved to a new forum once complete... i checked and that forum doesent allow HTML.

I just change the settings but the threads are still showing with the tags, do I run daily tasks to change that? will the site work it out eventually?

ok, its fixed.. saying html wasnt enables was the fix for me. I moved all the threads to a dummy forum and then moved them back and everything was fixed!

Thanks

That makes sense, posts are cached but are occasionally rebuilt, so probably you were seeing some cached posts at some point. Anyway, glad you got it worked out.

That's where my thinking was, glad you got it solved.
