I noticed this help request from November, but coul not find a resolution. When editing or creating new stories from a remote machine I get the following error "1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax near '' at line 1" In the error log the following appears "SQL in question: SELECT username FROM users WHERE uid = " I can edit on the host machine, but this is not a good solution. Any ideas? Using geeklog-1.3.1. P.S. I have a another machine with the same install that works perfectly.

For the account in question do this. Get the uid for that user: SELECT uid FROM users WHERE username = 'yourusername'; The do: SELECT count(*) FROM userprefs WHERE uid = 'idfromabove' If you get 0 let me know and insert a record into the userprefs table for that user and it should start working for you. ----- The reason people blame things on previous generations is that there's only one other choice.

The reason people blame things on previous generations is that there's only one other choice.

"Got 1" - userprefs exists - this occurs with a clean install admin user also.

I had either a permissions or host error going. Thanks.

having same problem again. Very puzzling.

Did you ever get to the bottom of this problem ? I get it when I try to edit topics....
