The latest release 9.52 was mainly a bug fix release and very little was changed, certainly nothing that would course this issue.
It seems that every time the input is parsed by the removeAllTags function to remove any malicious scripting that some characters are being changed to '<'.
This function has not been changed since version 9 was released over a year ago and there is no reason for this to happen and only seems to be effecting some installations and not all. Certainly none in our development lab or the ones we host on our own servers which makes it even harder to track down the issue.
The first thing you should do is try replacing the functions/functions_filters.asp with the latest version incase it is corrupted.
If that doesn't work then if you could give a link to your forum so that it can be looked to try and workout why this is happening.
Also have you changed any locales, character encoding, or using an Vietnamese?

I re-downloaded both the SQL and SQL2005 (although I am using the 2005) and extracted the functions_filter.asp from both and tried them.
Unfortunately, the problem still exists in both versions and has not changed. And, no, locales etc have not been changed.

Hope you can glean something from this?

Hi - I notice you are using an asp chat box - do you think perhaps the version is conflicting in some way with your forum version? I assume that this issue only arose when you tried 9.52 and 9.53, not with any previous versions?

No ... I put up the Chat Box AFTER 9.52 and 9.53 so there is no way that has anything to do with it (sadly ... it would be so easy if it were related but it's not).
Although my post count in this forum is very low I've actually been using WWF since January 2003 and have been through countless iterations and bugettes that seem to find there way into new releases. Hey! What software releases don't suffer!!

I cannot see your chat box now - are the issues still there?

Chatbox happily still there within the forums. And, yes the issue is still there until Bruce or someone finds the cause (though as Bruce stated before ... he can't see it on his boxes)!!
