Prevent backslashes from getting filtered in FireBoard posts
If you see that every link you wrote in a Fireboard forum is getting stripped of its backslashes, its done for some security issues.
I like it when you can see backslashes in URLs, but that's just me.
If you want to bring them back, do this:
Find the file: [JOOMLA SITE FOLDER]/components/com_fireboard/template/default/view.php
Replace this line: $fb_message_txt = stripslashes(smile::smileReplace($fb_message_txt, 0, $fbConfig['disemoticons'], $smileyList));
With this line: $fb_message_txt = smile::smileReplace($fb_message_txt, 0, $fbConfig['disemoticons'], $smileyList);
Thats it, problem solved.
