Question, it works only for one char each time? I mean, add the char, and then update the message cache?

i think you should make a db query to do that

PHP Code:
UPDATE user SET username='changedusername' WHERE username='originalusername' 
This mod only work with post table not user and that is what you need

I'm having the same problem that Threepwud had.

Quotation marks got changed to "
Apostrophes got changed to& # 3 9 ; (without the spaces)
Colons got changed to & # 5 8 ; (without the spaces) which really messes up URLs.
Periods got changed to & # 4 6 ; (without the spaces) which also messes up URLs.

And, of course there's the problem with the quotes.

However, your mod doesn't seem to fix this on my forum, which is running vB 4.1.3. It's making me a sad panda. Any tips?

Hello borbole,

can you tell me how this mod works exactly, is it like variable replacement in template or like banned words that replaces bad word with *
i mean it just convert them for users view or it replaces them permanently in the database?

Thanks.
