I hear what your saying I just do not see in vbulletin what option they use for that is what I am saying. Obviously we are using the common normal
vb santitation routines in
vb which is what vbgallery does.
I checked vbulletin sendmessage.php script and this is what they do
Code:
Content visible to verified customers only.
Therefore from what I see using TYPE_STR would be the same as vbulletin forum is using to sanitize email message or sender email.
