What causes '&amp' instead of '&' in replies and polls?

Okay this is weird...

For some reason, whenever you quote a post, certain characters (i.e. <, >, &, ' , ") get changed from their standard characters to their HTML version, yet HTML is not turned on. This happens only with quotes and polls. If I create a new thread or new reply without a quote, it doesn't do it.

I've put a screen cap to show what I mean, but can anyone tell me where this is doing this at? I thought it was in the unhtmlspecialchars function, but I set that to default and all occurances of it... still doing the same thing.

i guess it is just protecting it self from bad html code.
i think you get this because html is turned off.
it sees the special chars as html and turns them into no-html.

it's not really a bug but, should eb corrected by vB

that might work. I don't think there is really a way around this, but I have been wrong before.... :ermm:

Um... That wouldn't be a bug with vBulletin. It would have to be a hack or something like that that's causing the error. Just try quoting a post on here and you'll see it works fine.

What version vB are you running? This is a known bug with older versions of vB and polls. Upgrade, and you should be fine.

vb 2.2.6

I did a clean install on and the error doesn't exist there, so it is a hack I installed... but I have no idea where to even start looking for the code.

It would be a hack that edits either:

showthread.php
OR
newreply.php



They are the most likely two files that are affected...

I replaced newreply & that fixed the problem with the replies (broke a whole bunch o' other stuff, but that's beside the point). However, the polls are still doing the same thing. I tried to replace polls.php, but that didn't fix it.

So, what files do Polls and New Replys have in common?
