Invision Help!

[D@Z]

Hey folks,

I've got a problem with Invision Power Boards (v1.2). What's happening is, the tags [doHTML] & [/doHTML] allow HTML to be posted in threads, and when I do that in the thread, everything works fine.

However, because I am using a news mod to interage threads from a certain forum onto my site's home page. The [doHTML] tags then no longer work on the homepage.

Here is all the code for the news mod;

If would anyone be as kind to look relively quick I would be so grateful as I dont fancy having a test news article online all day.

Thanks so much for looking, and I hope someone can help.

This mod is for IPB 2.

It said on the website I downloaded it from that yes, the mod was for mainly IPB v2.0, but, it works also with others. It works fine on my version apart from the doHTML tags.

Is this the only piece of code for the script? because this bit has nothing to do with those tags. Maybe some other editing to the files have caused the problem.
