I have it installed and working great! I wish the <p> command didn't cause 2 lines of white space, but I can live with that.

Now if I could only figure out another hack for uploading images I would be done! I have it basically done, but I'm stuck at the moment. Thanks for asking!

Just installed this hack on 2.3.2 . (Fresh install) , and after a bit of modification I have it working. <Yeah !> If anyone wants the details I'll post 'em. 99.9% of the features & such work , including html & admin cp functions.

[FastAttack]

yeah post them dude!

Following was tested on vbulletin 2.3.0 it should work for 2.3.1 and 2.3.2
Please note follow the regular install directions from the original zip. don't follow the changes on the original readme to misc.php
This file was a compilation of bug fixes made by DarkReaper , bira, and fleabag thanks again guys, you just made it very easy for me to it! and of course thanks to tubedogg for the original hack!

What if we already installed the original version? What changes do I have to make from that? I mean it works fairly well to me minus the re-ordering stuff. Does yours fix that?

[FastAttack]

Yeah this also fixes that..

to update your basicly you would just need to replace everything from the the start faq area. with my updated one..

working example is at http://www.srtforums.com/forums/misc.php

I am working on addon so that certain user groups can access this faq update as well with the lesser admin mod..

I will release it but first I will ask all the people that made the original scripts to let me release it

and for a example of working bbcode and smilies :

[yzztik]

cool, that is what I thought.

ok I just did that and nothing seemed to have changed

I still can't re-order the entries. Are there any changes to faq.php needed for that?

[FastAttack]

what version are you running and nope I never even touched faq.php

[yzztik]

vb 2.3.0

I've always (since 2.2.8) gotten it to recognize HTML, not sure about smilies cuz I dont have any but the only thing that never worked is re-ordering the entries. Everything I change a number and submit the changes it refreshes the page as if I had just gone there for the first time and no changes are made.

[FastAttack]

most likely is a bad misc.php you have , upload a new one and do the code fix again
