!!Need Help!! : I can't change my profile

[Yrral]

*SOLVED*

The only settings I can change in the User Control panels are the ones with buttons and boxes, like "Birth Day" , "Disable BBC code", etc, and the ones in the edit account settings bar.
For all the other textboxes, when I click submit, it says:(for example Signature)
"
The field “Signature” is too long, a maximum of 0 characters is allowed.
"

Any help? I searched in the forums, there were 2 other people who posted about it, but their problem miraculously disappeared after they posted about it. So I will try it too

The max for a signature should be 255 characters, not 0...

I defer to atom on this one...

[atomtengeralattjaro]

that is one odd error. I think anyone previously complaining about the character limits was addressing the issue of how 255 characters is too few for the signature, i haven't heard of a 0 character limit. I just checked and there were no modifications about this as far as I can tell.
i also checked a normal account of mine and the problem didn't present itself, so it must be something on your end, or a silly phpBB bug. You could log off and on, maybe you haven't logged off since you got approved, and your permissions change when you get approved. If all else fails, clear browser cache and eat cake.

I second the eating cake part (and clearing the cache).

Cache cleared, logged in again, even switched to a different browser.

"The field “Signature” is too long, a maximum of 0 characters is allowed."

SOLUTION:
I Found the solution!
1. Go into whatever it is that u need to change, enter stuff in, it pops up saying max char is 0
2. Delete everything inside that textbox, click submit
3. It says changes saved, but it's still blank...but don't worry
4. Now go back and change it, IT WORKS NOW!

I call this PHP programming failure, somewhere in the if loop there is a mistake, can whoever host this site check how is max length defined?
Hopefully this can be put into the FAQs.

woah, nice find.
i don't have access to the code, but maybe it will be fixed with the next update.

I'm glad you found a workaround.
