I am trying to post to my newly installed forum and the result is the following:

Warning [2] preg_replace() [function.preg-replace]: Compilation failed: lookbehind assertion is not fixed length at offset 8 - Line: 406 - File: inc/class_parser.php PHP 5.1.4 (Linux)

this is the page that I get http://fvsc.com/myBB/showthread.php?tid=2

At the very bottom of that page, the part that is actually what I am looking for is partially displayed. The header info is there but the content is missing. Same thing goes for the Poll. The text is not displayed.

The url to the forum is http://fvsc.com/myBB/
The test user is: "Tester" & the P.W. is 19451918

Background: The mysql version is something like 4.0. I already asked the host and he doesn't want to upgrade to a newer version.

When I tried to install the program, after the page asking for the mysql info, it gave me a blank page. One of the threads on the forums said to add: '' => 'none', to the end of the listing of the encoding in two places for the files: inc/db_msql.php and inc/db_msqli.php. I went ahead and modified those files and that allowed me to continue with the installation.

Everything went fine until I started testing the forums and I encountered the error message above.

Oddly enough, the forum summary at the front, does show that a post was made and if you hit reply, you actually do see the content of the previous post.
