I've found that if somebody starts a topic with a character that isn't a letter or number, you cannot reply to the topic.
Is this an error with the forum software?

It's funny. I can't seem to duplicate this error on this forum.
Somebody posted a topic the title starting with a :) or ;). I had to edit it before I could reply to it.

Check that line in Inc_Top.asp and I'll be guessing it belongs to some code that updates the FORUM_ONLINE Table that has to deal with the Active Users Mod
Are you looking at your inc_top yet? Ok, now say "OMG, he's right!" LOL, just kidding, I could be wrong, but here goes anyways.
The field that holds the location of the user in the FORUM_ONLINE table is a text field that's like 100 characters long. Either bump that up to 255 or change it to a memo field and you'll be golden.

<body bgColor="<% =strPageBGColor %>" text="<% =strDefaultFontColor %>" link="<% =strLinkColor %>" aLink="<% =strActiveLinkColor %>" vLink="<% =strActiveLinkColor %>">

If you mean the MBROWSE field, that is already 250 characters. These are the other fields in that category:
UserID - TEXT - 100 char
UserIP - TEXT - 40 char
DateCreated - TEXT - 100 char
LastDateCreated - TEXT - 100 char
CheckedIn - TEXT - 100 char
LastChecked - TEXT - 100 char

I think this may be related.
I posted a thread with the subject:
Favourite album - which and why?
When you open the thread it appears as:
Favourite album ''2D which and why''3F
Is this normal?

| You need to change the M_BROWSE field from TEXT (250) to a MEMO field. That will fix your problem. |

What can I say? Richard, Big9er, you guys are the best!
Thanks, that fixed the problem.
Presumably, this is a common problem? Would it not be better to have this field as a MEMO rather than TEXT when you download the software or will this be 'fixed' in the new version?

Mark,
The Active Users is a mod that you added to your board ( though I suppose it could be part of the new alpha release, I am unsure ). Mods are not necessairly fully supported through the boards and could cause problems here and there.
Here is an example:
The private messages mod is a great mod that many people install on their forums. A problem arises when you delete a member that has messages to someone else or from someone else ( checking your inbox or outbox you will see this problem if you have a PM to or from them ). This is what I mean by some mods not being fully supported by the forums. They are not something that has been integrated fully into the software yet.
Maybe eventually they will move from being just mods to actual modules fully supported by the forums, but until that point they are just mods.
