I get the following error line on my installation page:

Deprecated: Function set_magic_quotes_runtime() is deprecated in /users/venise/www/forum/inc/class_core.php on line 165

I already tried to upgrade my site, but it gave PHP errors where the light doesnt shine.
Because i got so sick of it i just threw it all out and did a fresh install ( my site was empty rubbish anyway ).

But still, i want to get a working 1.6 mybb

The host is running PHP 5.3.3
Thanks in advance.
( Perhaps a staff member can guide me through a safe installation process )

magic quotes is deprecated in PHP5.3 and higher, you'll need to contact your host to tell them to turn it off or downgrade PHP to 5.2

Can you confirm with your host that your php version is 5.3.3?

Could be to do with: http://community.mybb.com/thread-52195-p...#pid372017
^ That bit of code there should stop that error.

Regardless as said about you should ask your host to turn magic_quotes off
