I've disabled the use of [url] tags which works fine when a user manually types them in. However if a user just types www.vbulletin.org for example without the [url] tags then vBulletin automatically adds the tags when the sig is saved.

Hope that explanation makes sense. Thanks.

Does anybody else have this problem? Is there a fix?

I had the same problem here. Is there a solution?

I notified the guys over at vBulletin, here is the solution they came up with http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs3...iew&bugid=1662

Works a treat.

hi,

I got an error when saving usergroup permitions.

Warning: mysql_real_escape_string() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /includes/class_core.php on line 635

Very nice mod -- thank you!

One minor problem: If you have a joinable group, then when a user is a member of that group they will get whatever the sig limits are in that group. As far as I can tell, there is no way to disable the sig limits applying on just that group (if you disable them on the joined group, then the user has no sig limits at all, regardless of their main group settings).

Permissions are inherited if the primary usergroup allows membergroups.
This is how the permissions system does work.

I don't think I made myself clear on this. The way permissions usually work with multiple groups for a user is they get the best of either group. So if one group says 15K attachments and the other says 20k, a user in both groups gets 20k.

Are you saying that if one group has 4 lines and the other has 5 lines, the user will get 5 lines? If so, then I cold just set the extra group to 1 line and they will always get the setting of their primary group.

Yes, as 5 is greater than 4.

do you have any idea on what could be causing the error I reported in my previous post? and how to correct it?

[Andreas]

No idea. Feel free to send me an ACP login and i'll take a look.
I'd also need the userid of one user where it doesn't work as it should.
