HTML appearing

sifuhall · August 22nd, 2006, 04:01 PM

I just upgraded from RP 3 to RP 3.3 and I now have lots of HTML appearing in my users comments such as <BR/> and <P> </P>

I'm sure this is a setting I have incorrect, but I haven't not been able to find it.

I am using vb3 integration and have selected ON for all three vb3 integration options.

well nothing is going to stop a user from inputting html now whether you want to display it or not is up to you in Admin => Admin Options enable the display of html

I suppose it is possible that many users immediately edited their old posts and inserted html as soon as I upgraded, but I do not believe that to be the cause.

I do not see that option in admin options.

I see:

Did you run your upgrades?

They have been around since reviewpost 2.9

I did run the upgrades and the only issue was when it attempted to copy the files into the thumbs folder. I modified permissions on a single folder, refreshed the page, and everything went fine.

I have no issues displaying reviews.

Also, I FULLY understand the risk of allow HTML in reviews.

My goal is NOT to allow HTML in reviews, I assumed this would be obvious.

I had hopped there would be a simple way to remove these html characters since they only appeared after my upgrade today, and they make reading the reviews very difficult for the users.
