Problem with posting a message (subject empty error)!

There was recently a bug found in PHP which opens up a bit of a security hole.

Because of this, many hosts are disabling file uploads and the multipart post method.

A quick fix for this until we find a way around or your host upgrades to a good version is to do the following:

Ok...

Easiest way for now is to find this file in Post.php:

<form action="$cgi;action=post2" method="POST" name="postmodify" onSubmit="submitonce(this);" enctype="multipart/form-data">

and change it to:

<form action="$cgi;action=post2" method="POST" name="postmodify" onSubmit="submitonce(this);">

Find this in ModifyMessage.php

<form action="$cgi;action=modify2;start=$start" method=post name="postmodify" onSubmit="submitonce(this);" enctype="multipart/form-data">

and change it to:

<form action="$cgi;action=modify2;start=$start" method=post name="postmodify" onSubmit="submitonce(this);">

Disable attachments for now and I will work on a fix for this...

Eh...disabling file-uploads?

You guys may want to ask your hosts when they plan on upgrading their PHP.  if they don't, they will have file uploads disabled for sometime...
