That's what I'm gonna do. Once I figure out how to move the forum I run over, too. I panic when I look at MySql! PS, this is a constant issue with them, Webhostingpad. Their servers are just crappy!

Problem was with my host's mod_security blocking anything with an apostrophe/special character in it.

OK maybe that was a stupid question. I mean, I can attempt to puzzle out what exactly a 'script' is. is it the .php files themselves or the tables that I see in phpmyadmin. If someone could kindly point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated. I think I can work things out, and try to post some 'scripts' for you.

Would you private message me? I am willing to pay you or someone to fix this.

Ok I don't know what particular scripts they are. But it's not only limited to new users. It's all users with ' in their user name that try to log in and get the error. And now I have one user, across all of her accounts that when she tries to make a post in a thread using any special characters at all, and it throws the same message. I do not know how to find scripts on the server, and what scripts do what.

Ok so, what would you need from me?

magic_quotes_gpc Off Off magic_quotes_runtime Off Off magic_quotes_sybase Off Off All off. How might I turn them on?

name this as "newscript.ini" or something else? I totally understand the rest of your instructions, though. Again, clueless. I'm more of a designer.

yeah, no luck in finding the file. I am so clueless, but I will try to make this painless for you, and I really really appreciate the help. So, steer me in the right direction, please? Thank you.

I am viewing through PHP Admin. You will have to forgive me. I am just a beginner. There are no backslashes when I go in and look at the tables in PHP MyAdmin. And I will look in the php.ini file, but I am not sure where that is located. Will have a look around and let you know.

Here it is again, hope this helps: I have a problem that has suddenly developed in the mysql database. I have several members that have previously registered with a " ' " (apostrophe special symbol) in their name. No problem for nearly a YEAR till just a few days ago, when the server was being sluggish yet again ( NOTE: DO NOT HOST WITH WEBHOSTINGPAD.COM as this is not an isolated incident with their server messing up a database... I had a bunch of standard accounts suddenly turned to MODERATORS when their server flipped out last time). Now, people who have registered names with the special character apostrophe (Like "O'Malley" or something like that) cannot log in, they get a 404 not found error. Additionally, I cannot change their name to something without a ' in it through ACP, I get the same error... 404. I have to go into the DB to change it there and then I can pull up their name. And finally, when someone tries to register with a ' in their name like O'Brady, for instance, it will throw the same error. Has anyone seen this, and if so, how can it be resolved if at all?
