The problem arises if you try to use replacement variables in vB Code. Beginning with 2.2.3, this no longer works. However the fix (thanks to Chen!) is simple. Just remove or comment out this line from admin/functions.php:

PHP Code:

$bbcode=str_replace("{", "{", $bbcode); // stop people posting replacements in their posts[color=Radon3k][/color] 


Of course remving this line will cause the problem of people using replacement variables in posts. However in my case it's a good trade-off.

What do you mean by "Of course removing this line will cause the problem of people using replacement variables in posts."??

What are replacement variables? Do you need to install this hack, or just comment that line out? I'm a bit confused. Please explain (?)
