I'll look into that, the best bet for smilies to show is via IMG code if that works. I'll try and install 2.2.7 on localhost tomorrow and have a look, but comparing the fuctions.php for both the bbcodeparse function is the same.

[Buddha]

here's another kicker for you... it's not that it has a hard time with nested tables, but rather, if the post is long enough that it needs to add the "..." for the read more feature, well this is what happens.
(check attached image)

[NTLDR]

Theres nothing that can be done about that I'm afraid.

This is how it works, it takes the first X characters of the post text and then bins the rest, even if its in the middle of vBcode or HTML. I'm think perhaps thats what your problem may be? Have you tried the origional code with the character limiter switched off (set to 0)?

BTW good job on the design, its looking great

[Buddha]

yeah, if i have the limiter switched to 0, then i'm alright. and your explanation as to why it's cut off makes perfect sense... guess i won't be able to use that feature... ah well.

thanks for the compliment on the design.
i didn't change too much of your original placement of things... my next style for this though will be quite different.

anyway, thanks for all the help buddy.

getting error

Parse error: parse error in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/s2k2.com/httpdocs/vbindex.php on line 115

on vbindex.php

[NTLDR]

As I have said many times:

• No one can help if you don't post whats around the lines you get the parse error as we don't know what code is there.
• Check you have edited the files correctly. I know for a fact you haven't

[wolfe]

the code on that line is

} // end of vB

[Chris M]

@NTDLR - It isnt like that when the tags cuts out...

I had an error with it when I used a [php] tag...It sent the entire column smack-bang into the right bar...

Satan

[wolfe]

also if its before the forums dir if its in the main dir what would i put here

chdir('x');

would it be

chdir('.');

or

chdir('./');

or

chdir('/');

You haven't followed the install instructions and added the code that needs to be added to vbindex.php
