I'm using version 7.01 (yes I know it's old

) 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)
