 We found a "bug" if you will with the announcement message block, if you enter a word with an apostrophe it shows the backslash apostrophe (needed as part of the PHP translation). It can be re translated and should. If anyone has the new version and wants to fix it, here is how. ALTERNATELY if you want us to fix it just make sure we have your current FTP info if you are not hosted with us and ask.

We will update the downloads here in a couple minutes.

Open lib.php and find:
"guest_message"    => GUEST_MESSAGE,
"member_message"   => MEMBER_MESSAGE,


Replace it with:
"guest_message"    => str_replace("'", "'", GUEST_MESSAGE),
"member_message"   => str_replace("'", "'", MEMBER_MESSAGE),


This happens other places throughout the WowBB code that is part of Ultra, if you notice it happening alert us and we can make it look right with a similar fix.

 APOSTROPHE CATASTROPHE, The sequal.

WELL the first fix worked until you saved again in the admin panel. It pulled the backslash up in the text box and when saved.... it put 2 of them in the string! Since the fix only removed one.... it would show again in the announcement.

So you need the first fix along with:

open admin.php and find:
"gen_guest_message" => $guest_message,
"gen_member_message" => $member_message,


And replace it with:
"gen_guest_message" => str_replace("\'", "'", $guest_message),
"gen_member_message" => str_replace("\'", "'", $member_message),


If you see any backslashes in the message after that save blank and write it over, it won\'t happen again. Just kidding with the won\'t. Geek humor.
