When I ran my vbulletin test I got this: magic_quotes_gpc should be off for optimal performance, ask your host to change this in php.ini Obviously I'm on a shared host, so I'm wondering if I can use the .htaccess file to change this setting. Also, what kind of code would I have to add to file to do this?
not really the answer you want but, live chat is very helpfull with hostgator and they will include php.ini in like 5 - 10 mins.
