I'm using version 7.01 (yes I know it's old Embarrassed) and am trying to assign a user Moderator rights to a forum.
 
The user is regsitered in the forum but when I search on his name and select it via admin/find_user.asp and then click on the "Next>>" button i get a message stating "Sorry, no Member with the entered username can be found".
 
This is strange becuase I have just used the "Search for Member" function to find it, so it must exist.
 
I thought it might be a username length issue but I am able to assign Moderator rights to users with longer usernames.
 
The username in question is AaronLancaster
 
Any ideas???

This is going back a long way, but I do sort of rember this as being a bug with that version that was fixed in later versions.

Try upgrading to the lastest version.

Yep - must look at upgrading as well
 
I tried that name and it also crashed on me.
 
It turns out that any name with CAST as part of the string will cause a failure.
 
the admin/find_user.asp has a calls a function to replace any sql commands for the username
 
strMemberName = formatSQLInput(strMemberName)
 
that function has, amonst others a call to remove any CAST s
 
strInputEntry = Replace(strInputEntry, "cast", "cast", 1, -1, 1)
 
I now MUST get a later version :)
 
(but if you cannot - just remark the line strMemberName = formatSQLInput(strMemberName) out - Im sure it wont cause any problems, especially considering you are in the admin area)
