vBulletin 4.2.2 PL3 and PHP 5.5.9 incompatibility quirks
 

As our forum is running on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS which runs PHP 5.5.9 (the only version available), we are 'stuck' with some incompatibility 'quirks', most of which I have already fixed with ozzy47's assistance. (Rock on ozzy47!)

One still remains, which is basically cosmetic, but affects a key element of existing and future posts. That's the [ IMG ][ /IMG ] tags.

Any member not having Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing set as their Message Editor Interface, this tag does not work; the tagged URL doesn't get converted to HTML.

The following is a tagged image in one of our Administrators signature. I've put spaces after/before each [ and ] here so you can see the URL:

[ IMG ]http://jointhegame.kde.org/index.php/member/widget?widget=SignatureBanner&member=1336[ /IMG ]

In signatures, it displays only as an active hyperlink (which does work; the image opens in a new tab if clicked). But this is what it is supposed to look like in the signature:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2015/01/34.jpg

This also affects all existing tagged images in all posts we have on our forum. But within the posts, the link isn't hyperlinked.

Is there a 'fix' in one or more of the 4.2.2PL3 .php files I can apply to fix this?

Well first off I would upgrade to 4.2.3 and that might just fix the issue.

Also what about setting all users Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing set as their Message Editor Interface?

Our forum host/owner just finished upgrading us to 4.2.3 beta. Will check things out.

Awesome, let us know how it goes. :)

All the images in all the posts are again showing, even in signatures.

Ah, how nice it is to have things working as they should again. Nice start to the new year.

Excellent, glad to hear all is well again. :)
