Error creating a new profile

I just fixed a problem with a related webpage.
Could you confirm that the problem still exists or if the webpages are now working.

Thanks.

I am having trouble reproducing the problem.

What page is giving you the error?

Could you completely log out and make sure that you are getting fresh copys of the pages.?

Can anyone else reproduce this error?

Thanks.

Well, sorry to say that, but now I'm having problems to creat a profile.
Acctually I'm having problems to edit and then submit the changes.
It says:
Profile error
Couldn't update profile: database error
Click your browser's Back button to try again.

I cleared my Cache and I completely logged out. Didn't help.

It is like this:
I wanted to write something in the "Your personal background."-field.
I wanted to write:
Hi @ all,

I'm a student at the University of Augsburg in Germany.

Then the error occured.
So I just wrote:
Hi @ all,

as you can see, that was stored.
Then i added that additional line.
Then the error occured again.

So I tested a little while, when the error will occure and when it won't.

Well,
when i write:
Hi @ all,

Im

then everything is ok.
BUT, when i write:
Hi @ all,

I'm

then the error ocures.
Somehow the Database doesn't like that ' in my profile.

While inserting into database

While inserting into database ' is used to determine the beginning and the ending of the string, so it thinks that the string is over and tries to parse the remaining string as a command.

Such strings should be converted into '' or [Slash]' (I don't know what DB this project is using) and it should work. Just like in these forums.

(I should be working here, shouldn't I ;))

[Edit] For those who can't create a profile, enter '' instead of ', I have tested it now.

[Edit 2] And this forum drops out slashes, couldn't write it :|

Shur is right. What you

Message 921 in response to message 920

Shur is right.

What you should try is before submitting the message to the database add this line.

$message = str_replace("[backslash]'", "[3*backslash]'", "$message"); (in php)

Normally it should work in this way

Hi, me again :) I've

Hi, me again :)

I've noticed some strange signs.
For example, when I go to my profile, and look through the Primary Languages, then I have noticed some square with a questionmark in it. Like below "Greenlandic"/above "Gujarati". It is "Guaran?"
Same with below "Vietnamese"/above "Welsh". It is "Volap?k"

Well, I've noticed that a few days ago, when i realized, that my Team name ist "Universit?t Augsburg", instead of "Universtät Augsburg". (I've changed that back)

Maybe some changes in the Database messed up some "abnormal" letters. Same thing happend to such letters in the forum.

Nothing horrible, just thought to mention it.

:)

P.S.
(why is it "Go to page 1, 2, 2 Next" and not "Go to page 1, 2 Next" in the Message board and the questions and problems board?)
