Backslashes get stripped from News Module in 7.9

Ever since I upgraded to 7.9, I can no longer use backslashes (\) in my documents. Using \\ doesn't work. I have seen other people post this question on here but I cannot find anybody with a real solution. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Unfortunately phpNuke is not coded correctly, using stripslashes where it may not be needed. Not an easy correction

First delete in mainfile.php

Code:

$str = stripslashes($str);

There may be other changes you need to do, the code needs to be corrected system-wide

Hence the reason nobody can give me a straight answer on this.... except you I suppose. Thanks for the clear response. I guess I'll try your suggestion, switch to another portal system or just use forward slashes.

Working on fixing them.. I just recommend not using 7.9 at this stage, a lot of junk code to fix

I have some test packages for 7.5 to 7.8.. work on 7.9 will start soon as I have more time.

Sure, check out some other portal systems. opensourcecms.com is a good place for that
