In PHP 5 and above pass-by-reference is done automatically, but in PHP 4 had to be done explicitly. As of PHP 5.3 you will get the deprecated warning message appear.

What you need to do is edit read_pms.php, at line 502 find:

PHP Code:

    $bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list()); 


and change it to:

PHP Code:

    $bbcode_parser = new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list()); 


That should fix your issue

I am probably not going to put a fix for download yet, as most vBulletin v 3.x.x installations still reside on servers that have not been upgraded to PHP 5.3 and above yet.
