 * Hi all,
 * this plugin uses the call preg_replace () /e. The /e option is dangerous and 
   therefore not allowed on a lot of servers.
 * To quote suhosin:
 * “The /e modifier inside preg_replace() allows code execution. Often it is the
   cause for remote code execution exploits. It is wise to deactivate this feature
   and test where in the application it is used. The developer using the /e modifier
   should be made aware that he should use preg_replace_callback() instead. “
 * Hopefully the developer reads this and can change it, since a lot of users seem
   to want to use this plugin
 * cheers,
    Stefan
