"Quote" button

Clownst0pper · 14 Sep 2011 at 13:17

At present, my forum is up and running and visually almost complete (bar a colour change or two). www.rangersvale.com/forum/

However, the remaining problem is the “Quote” button when posting.

When you press it, to quote a poster, it works but it copies in the incorrect code and so doesn’t actually quote properly. There is also a weird line of code just above the text box I want removing?

I’ve linked the example and mess it makes for you here:

http://rangersvale.com/forum/?vasthtmlaction=viewtopic&t=4.0

Does anyone know how to fix this? It’s the only remaining issue.

Thank you,

Your second link is broken

The problem appears to be because the HTML in your posts is being HTML escaped.

This turns '<div class="et_quote">' in to '<div class="et_quote">'.

Exactly how you stop it will depend on the forum software you're using.

@ chigley: Fixed!

@ Spunkey, I'm currently using ForumPress (http://forumpress.org/)

Another fan website I know of that uses the same Forum Software as me is www.necrobator.com/forum and they have the ability to quote correctly.

Does knowing any of this help matters?

I'm a bit disturbed by the seeming lack of updates and responses to people posting SQL exploit code in the support forums. You may be better off moving to another piece of forum software.

I've always used bbpress with wordpress (and buddypress). It's not the best forum software but it seems to be fairly bug-free and secure.

What do you mean French? Is the software for Forum Press risky?

I don't know for sure but if you check out the forum there's someone reporting an sql injection vulnerability and there has been no response from the developers.
