Davio - thank you!!!! Have been hoping that someone with much better ASP abilities than mine (which are next to none) would fix those bugs and make the polls compatible with 3.4.06.
I have now upgraded from 2.0.7 to 2.0.8 on my forums and it works a treat. Much appreciated.<

Thanks so much for the updates! I do have one question, though. With the fix posted here, I'm curious about whether this opens the potential for an SQL Injection attack. Is the string sanitized later, or is this not considered a vulnerability?<

I sanitize all my variables before using them in sql queries Bill. smile Security comes first when I code my mods. Mainly comes from being part of the dev team. Security is high on the totem pole.
So if anything you want to accuse me of is sanitizing my variables more than once. tongue Which was the case for that bug fix. Persons complained that single quotes were being doubled up. It was because it went through chkstring() twice. wink<

That was my main question. I've used several of your mods, and have never had a single problem. Looking back, I guess I worded it a little carelessly. My main question was whether the variable was sanitized later (which I assumed it was, just wanted to check).
Thanks a bunch for the updates!<

You can do a search for the variable and see where it is sanitized. But yes, it is, either later or earlier.<

Image, as much as I appreciate your help in reporting bugs, there is a better way to do it.
1. Please post in the right forum. Start a new topic in the Help MOD Implementation forum with the problem so it can discussed. 2. Provide more information. Line numbers (approximate), explanation as to what is wrong. These are a must.
You're not a member that report bugs 1 or 2 times, but you do it regularly, so I hope you will start to develop good bug reporting so you don't get developers frustrated, asking for extra info each time.

Again thanks for pointing them, just start a new topic on it, please.<

I just upgraded Snitz to 3.4.07 and I am having problems getting this mod to work. When I add a New Poll the choices don't display and in the poll admin there is no feature poll listed and I have all the appropriate check boxes checked. I don't receive any errors on the db so I must have a line or two messed up somewhere. However, when checking with WinMerge all files compare just fine. Davio, can you tell me where I need to look to check my code for at the very least choices. I checked the topic.asp and everything looks correct. Thanks in advance.
