mySQL query error after upgrade

Hi I am on VB 3.8.0 and have just upgraded the arcade and I get the following error.

mySQL query error: SELECT user.userid, user.avatarid, user.avatarrevision, avatar.avatarpath, customavatar.filename, NOT ISNULL(filedata) AS hascustom, customavatar.dateline FROM (SELECT * FROM user WHERE userid=13) AS user LEFT JOIN avatar AS avatar ON avatar.avatarid = user.avatarid LEFT JOIN customavatar AS customavatar ON customavatar.userid = user.userid WHERE customavatar.userid=13 OR user.userid=13

mySQL error: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'SELECT * FROM user WHERE userid=13) AS user LEFT JOIN avatar AS
mySQL error code:
Date: Sunday 11th 2009f January 2009 02:06:06 AM

Is it possible to solve this without uninstalling and reinstalling?

solution:

open /arcade/functions/dbclass.php

search for

if (function_exists("mysql_get_client_info"))
  {
   if(mysql_get_client_info() < 4.1)
   {
    // query for older mySQL-versions (<4.1)
    // which is putting more load on the server and is slower
    $the_query = "SELECT user.userid, user.avatarid, user.avatarrevision, avatar.avatarpath, customavatar.filename, NOT ISNULL(".$avatarkompatibel.") AS hascustom, customavatar.dateline FROM ibf_user AS user LEFT JOIN ibf_avatar AS avatar ON avatar.avatarid = user.avatarid LEFT JOIN ibf_customavatar AS customavatar ON customavatar.userid = user.userid WHERE customavatar.userid=" . $idneeded . " OR user.userid=".$idneeded;
   }
  }

below it add

$the_query = "SELECT user.userid, user.avatarid, user.avatarrevision, avatar.avatarpath, customavatar.filename, NOT ISNULL(".$avatarkompatibel.") AS hascustom, customavatar.dateline FROM ibf_user AS user LEFT JOIN ibf_avatar AS avatar ON avatar.avatarid = user.avatarid LEFT JOIN ibf_customavatar AS customavatar ON customavatar.userid = user.userid WHERE customavatar.userid=" . $idneeded . " OR user.userid=".$idneeded;

next version will be more sensible in using newer mySQL-commands
