You're probably running a UBB that's running under Strict mode.

Who's Online does not run under strict.

how is that? can i change it somehow?

anyone?

RTFM please. If your board is in strict, then you put it there, and in order to do so, you would have had to read the instructions.

In the ultimatebb.cgi find Use Strict(near the top) comment it out so it looks like #Use Strict
