That is your problem. 2.2.6 is woefully old. Run at least the latest version of 2.3 and do not hack.

There are instructions in the manual at http://www.vbulletin.com/docs for upgrading.

Note that by "hack" I mean modify the code of your board.

your best idea is to upgrade to most recent version, the most compliant version if you want to upgrade to vB 3 is vB 2.2.9. anything before 2.2.9 is not compliant for an upgrade to vB 3. I think your best idea if not wanting to leave vB 2 is fully upgrade to most current version of vB 2(2.3.5 ?)and stay on top of patches,fixes, and versions as any vbulletin webmaster/mistress should

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
