This error is strange the query doesn't seem wrong.

I don't understand why such an error would appear especially if you were doing an upgrade.

Did you do anything wrong ?

Hey vBDev,

Are you going to release a fix for the color selection? I am awaiting this fix before I launch my site.

Cheers

Yes I will but I wasn't able to do it last night and maybe not tonight.

Perhaps tomorrow morning.

Yes I know but this is an issue I didn't encountered during my tests so that's hard to know

Really appreciate all the work you do, mate. There are very few mod authors out there that stick with their mods 100%. Well done!

BTW - I have voted for you in the MoTM Poll

I was a little bit to fast I gues.

Glad I have a back-up, board is up again.

Keep up the good work!

I guess I lost contact with the SQL server during install.

That's the only thing I can imagine.
