It seems I must apologize to everyone that had this problem.

vBulletin itself was caching posts and when they were viewed by people that were allowed to view the code, vBulletin would display what it had in it's cache.

The fix posted today kills the post read from the vBulletin cache so that shouldn't happen any more.

Thanks for the quick fix. It seems to work now properly.

Hi, nice plug-in!
I've an issue: the code is visible in the Recent Forum Message CMS widget! How to Hide??
Thank's!

I get the following warnings on 4.1.6 and the code is still visible:

Warning: Unterminated comment starting line 1 in /home/---/public_html/forum/showthread.php(308) : eval()'d code on line 1

Warning: Unterminated comment starting line 20 in /home/---/public_html/forum/includes/class_bbcode.php(424) : eval()'d code on line 20

Warning: Unterminated comment starting line 20 in /home/---/public_html/forum/includes/class_bbcode.php(424) : eval()'d code on line 20

Do you have any idea what may cause this ?

Thank you

I'll have a look to see if the code can be intercepted in that widget or not. For now, the hider doesn't do the CMS widget.

Do these warning go away if you disable the hider?

I'm asking because it runs fine on 4.1.5 and 4.1.7 with no warnings (I never installed 4.1.6 anywhere).

Yes they go away when I disable the product from plugin manager. But the warnings are still there if I only disable it from BB Code Hider Lite Settings.

I also tested it on another forum (4.1.7) and it works fine. Maybe it is conflicting with another plugin in that 4.1.6 forum?

It does sound like something is conflicting with it.

I triple checked and all of the comments are closed in the hider, so I don't think it's in the hider. Try uninstalling, downloading again and re-installinng. Maybe something went wrong with the install or download.

Also, you could try disabling your other mods one at a time to see if you can locate the conflict. If you do locate it, please let me know which one it is so I can see what the conflict is.

Yes, something was going wrong in importing the product. I checked the plugins content is only this:

/*================================================*\
||##################################################
|| # BBCode Hider Lite Version 1.0.1
|| # ---------------------------------------------- 
|| # Copyright

So, the import of each plugin was being interrupted right before the '?' sign. Replacing all ?s with Cs in xml and solved the issue.
Probably there is something wrong in parsing ? with UTF-8 forums. Mine is in Persian language.

Thanks for your help. Your PM regarding the comment led me to checking the plugin.

Hey nhawk, can you explain how you fixed the caching issue? I looked at the code briefly but couldn't see it. Actually, if you can explain how the caching system works that would be cool.
