Can't edit CSS or topicViewTemplate

When editing the ipb_styles.css or topicViewTemplate bits, after saving them, the template contents disappear and the templates are totally empty. Reverting them brings the original contents back, but you are unable to save any changes to those templates.

This is caused by the suhosin PHP hardening patch. There is nothing that we can do to alter this behavior. You will need to contact your host to have the value for

suhosin.post.max_value_length
suhosin.request.max_value_length

Raised to 1,000,000

That is the default value in Suhosin 0.9.29, and our new recommended setting. http://www.hardened-.../changelog.html

You can go to ACP->Support->PHP Info and search for that setting. You will see that it is set to 65000. When your host tells you it has been changed, go back to ACP->Support->PHP Info and look at that value again, if it still says 65000, it has not been changed.

The change must affect your ACP directory, NOT the forum directory. So, if your host changes it via a php.ini file, that file must be placed in the ACP directory.

So long as the suhosin.post.max_value_length says 65000, you will not be able to change either of those template bits.
