Upgraded smoothly and works well no errors like what has been posted. I did upgrade from 6.10 to 7 RC2 though. Just uploaded all and overwrote the old disabled thread notification as I careless on that and all good.

[CORSO]

Still have problems with " í "

[Ju4nCh0]

FYI....

I did a clean install on v 0.7 RC2 and I was getting this error.....

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of call_user_func(). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file in /home/content/j/u/a/juanchito/html/foros/includes/class_gcbos.php on line 128

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at [path]/includes/class_gcbos.php:128) in [path]/gcbos.php on line 143

So I went in class_gcbos.php and in line 128 found this

PHP Code:

$done = call_user_func($command['function'], $this, $command, $params, $message, &$output); 


There's an extra & right before $output... removed it, reuploaded it and it worked just fine =D

However... it's still showing the text with the "typewriter effect" and takes forever to load all the messages =S

Is there a way to disable it???

Still getting the same error in the chatbox.

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of call_user_func(). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file in /xxxx/includes/class_gcbos.php on line 128

At the top of this page, you say this

PHP 5.3
For GCBOS to work with PHP 5.3 you must have
allow_call_time_pass_reference
set to On

Where??

Nothing is said in the readme?

[elwachiman]

I HAVE WILL PHP Version 5.2.8 may work with that version?

Its not extra... its a reference... its how commands work yknow

[Alien]

I have installed the RC2 update, but still get the slower "typewriter" writing. Wasn't this changed, or have i missed an option?

Chemical - what do you recommend I do about this issue? Obviously, I can't have users getting this error message every time they post a new thread. Thanks for your help.
