yeah made a few changes regarding magic quotes... all is fine now.. except I had to change the "check code" for the nickname on the join page.. it wasn't working and kept telling me that I was using invalid chars. I took the code from the 6.1.4 nickname field and inserted it and now members can join.
get_magic_quotes_gpc is Off, enable it
Please go to the
