That would be a good feature

Perhaps I missed the step, but I believe the HTL version needs to support database prefix's. I was able to edit this in via the Hack Manager to get it installed. Nice one, overall--- thanks.

EVERYBODY USING APPLY THIS FIX NOW. There was a major security problem found. This stops the use of html and applies swear filering to the text.

Open functions_newpost.php

Find:

PHP Code:


			
        // ### POST NEW THREAD ###
        if ($type == 'thread')
        {

Add Below:

PHP Code:


			
                $post['threaddesc'] = htmlspecialchars_uni(fetch_censored_text($post['threaddesc']));

I will update the two install files to have this new change in v1.0.1. The only change will be this security update.

Any word on updating this for the editpost to add descriptions to threads already there?

We figured out what needed to be added and it is more code than the original hack. But it works!
