Quotemysql 4.05

Wasn't the requirment 4.22?  You might try installing the newest version.  After all, it's free - I see no reason not to upgrade.

Have you tried all the methods of login?  (the quick login, vb style login, and the login section?)

I believe all users of my board get the "Invalid character used in Username" error.  But only in the main login (not the smaller login area below - why are there two on the screen anyway?) and only when the "Always stay logged in" checkbox is checked.

Is there a solution to this problem?
