Description: ------------ preg_quote function escapes # character, while it shouldn't. This breaks IPBoard 4.3.6 forums in which friendly urls uses custom regexes with #, @, ? characters in url templates. Urls are passed through preg_quote function and # is replaced with \#. In next section {#} should be replaced with (\d+), but this fails, since there is {#} but {\#}.
