FAQ
Q: My board uses UTF-8 or another nonstandard charset how can i fix this?
A: because UTF-8 is not vBulletin's default charset the data is incorrectly displayed. The fastest way to fix this is to open your admin panel select "Languages and Phrases" then Language Manager. Now hit edit settings on the language you are using and 7 options down you will see "HTML Character Set" change this to UTF-8 (default is ISO-8859-1).
Q: GCBOS always says loading how can i fix this?
A: The header include hooks is either missing or not working simply view your pages source and check if you can see gcbos.js if you cant please re-read the installation instructions and make sure all the steps have been followed.
Q: My host uses PHP 5.3 or above how do i make GCBOS work?
A: It should work by default (GCBOS sets 'allow_call_time_pass_reference' to on at runtime) if this doesnt work consult your host
