Miscellaneous Hacks - [DBTech] Forum Live Feed & User Wall v1 (vB4) [AJAX]

Forum Live Feed & User Wall lets you see a continuously updated feed of activities on the forum, with a powerful set of customisation options for sources of information.

Uses
If you've wished for a Facebook-like feed for your forum, this mod is for you.

This mod adds 2 distinct features to your site. First a live feed showing actions performed by everyone on the forum, from new threads and posts to things like new avatars or signatures, your members can customise their feed and keep up to date with everything that's going on, right as it happens.
Secondly every user also has their own wall that displays what they have been up to. This lets users see what their friends have been doing and join in!
With advanced privacy configuration options and configurable preview options for each content type, this mod compliments other modifications like InfoPanels and produces a more detailed and verbose feed of the happenings on the forum.

I am unable to replicate this issue. All special characters are working fine for me

It may be an issue with your database or your forum's language, I really don't know.

Forum Live Feed & User Wall v1.2.1 (Beta):
Feature: Now available in a new flavour: vBulletin 3.8.x!
Feature: Parsing of [img] tags can now be turned off on the main feed as well as the sidebar
Fix: (vB4) Introduced a new CSS class in dbtech_livewall.css that should ensure videos / images are properly constrained within the sidebar

So what could be the reasen? Forum is running on german language.
It is only your mod and DavidsMod which is similar to yours causing this. After refreshing the page everythings fine. Also no problem with the advanced editor, only the quick reply has this problem.

That's impossible to tell as it varies based on server configuration and server specs, sorry.

If you are having similar problems with the Quick Reply then this further strengthens my reasoning that it is in fact not a problem with our mods. Your site is set up in a way that you are unable to use AJAX without it "breaking" special characters in that way.

Unfortunately I have zero experience with this because I have never had to deal with it - all characters work out of the box with a default install of vBulletin so I really don't know where the issue lies

Thanx for Update, I have installed, images are resized within the side bar, but still if there is any text like URL, it goes beyond the side bar!
