Topher, I was thinking this was a MOD you had implemented. It isn't?

Using the Solaris theme, this is what renders when attempting to manage usergroups. This is the only theme I've spotted that has this issue. This is definitely a theme specific flaw.

Browser: Mozilla Suite v1.7.12

I also noticed that any blank fields where you would enter your IM UIN it forces a blank space character to be inserted. Thus, even though you don't have say....yahoo instant messenger, it renders the image as if you do. You can clearly see this by looking at my profile. I only use ICQ and AIM, but all the fields have data in them, so the board renders all of the images as if I did.

This is also something you can't fix by editing your profile. It will re-insert the spaces.

MD is this a Solaris theme issue or general problem?

I think I know what might be causing this. I think the data import filled in a bunch of empty field with extra NULLs. Try to edit your profile and remove them.

Like I said, it doesn't do any good. It re-inserts the space characters.

Well, I went in to the DB and checked it out. It's setup correctly. I was able to manually change the values in my profile to NULL. Viewing my profile was then correct but as soon as I tried to edit my profile the normal way it was back. It looks like this is in the code and not the DB. We will put in on the Bug Tracking List and see if we can fix it.

Sorry KB, this one looks like it’s yours.

Also noticed that the Teamspeak panel isn't installed on the Solaris theme.

No not that I am aware of, that was an addition that came along and the previous admin decided that that wasn't required, so the backend code was commented out but the template files weren't changed.

I agree I will try to remove that this weekend!

I got OODLES of strange sql errors last night trying to post one message, but I could post the same message in the testing forum, but I couldn't post it anywhere else, then I could again. It was bizzare. I have notes if anyone wants them, but I don't think they will be of any use since the errors seemed to be somewhat random.
