I've been hesitant to install this, is this error free now?

I'm unaware of any bugs that would prevent you from being able to use this mod. The "CES Profile Fields" setting mentioned above is invisible in the current release, but for most purposes you should be fine with the default values anyway.

After upgrade from 2.1.1 to 2.1.6 social groups bbcode don'ts works anymore. Same problem for the events forum (not bbcode).
Please help me (3.7.5)

I disabled this product and now I'm getting this error on member profiles.

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4096

Any ideas as to what may be causing this?

I recently upgraded to vBulletin 3.8.4 but I found it odd that I would get the error when trying to remove the hack. When I turn it back on, the errors go away.

[thincom2000]

Did you disable the hack? Or attempt to uninstall it?
Do you have custom plugins that use this mod's permissions - e.g. a custom vBa or profile integration? Since these plugins aren't part of the default product, you need to disable them separately.

You can also try rebuilding the bitfields (visit admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields)

Ahhh, that was the ticket. Had a seperate plugin called CES Parser Perms: Patch for Raw Userfields.

I was wanting to disable it because for some reason HTML no longer works in posts when it is enabled. I'd still like members to be able to use BBcode in their profiles though....

[BadgerDog]

Do I only need the XML file installed if I'm not using the advanced CES parser?

Thanks ..

@Warlord, unfortunately I no longer have 3.6 installed (using 3.8), so I can't say what change was made that it no longer parses HTML. Working fine for me on 3.8.4 PL1.

@BadgerDog, install the mod as described in the readme.

Actually, I'm on vBulletin? Version 3.8.4 now, but I've had that problem since I was on 3.6 and still do. Any ideas?

According to this site's records, you haven't updated the mod in quite a while (the current version is 2.1.6 and it says you last downloaded 2.1.2).

I would recommend updating to the newest version of the mod. Then, if you have a small to medium sized forum, you can rebuild the post cache. If you have a medium to large sized forum, just wait for the cache to expire.
