b2evolution 1.9.3 is not working with IE8

My b2evolution Version: Not Entered

Hi, I'm running b2evolution 1.9.3 and since everything is working so fine and I customized my skin to a point that it would be much more trouble to upgrade I would like to keep it in 1.9.3. But some users are reporting problems with the new IE8. When they access my blog using IE8 they get this error: http://www.vladimircampos.com/ie8problem_img.jpg.

Searching I found this post (http://forums.b2evolution.net/viewtopic.php?t=18265&highlight=internet+explorer++insert+evouseragents) here in the Forum but since I'm not a programer, I'm not sure the problem is the same. Can somebody help me on how to fix the IE8 problem I'm having?

Thanks, Vlad.

Replace the following code in file inc/MODEL/sessions/_hit.class.php , lines 433 and 442

$DB->escape( $this->user_agent )


make it look like this

$DB->escape( substr( $this->user_agent, 0, 200 ) )

Not tested :(

Thanks a lot for answering! Do you have IE8 installed there? I did the changes you suggested but I'm a Mac user. Could you check if the blog is now working with IE8? http://www.vladimircampos.com

Thanks again!
