Thanks Todd,
everything now works fine again, please excuse that I have stolen your time
as we all know you have so much to do. I didn't entirely understand what
excactly went wrong, but I'm happy it's okay now. I don't think that I
entered an ASCII #0 character, I assume much more that I 'opened' the set
2198 twice on the same page. Let me explain that:
I usually enter a lot of info at once, whenever I picked up a couple of sets
that are not listed as part of my collection. In order to upload all info
quickly, I simply put ALL set numbers into the 'LEGO Set Reference' Search
field so that I will see a page that shows excactly the sets I picked up,
for example:
http://guide.lugnet.com/set/?q=2805,+2806,+2198,+4990,+2198&v=a
The problem with this specific page was that it is listing 2198 twice as I
picked up two copies and therefor entered it twice in the same Search field.
Instead of submitting 'Own Public: 2' I must have entered 1 in both fields
(though a different private note) and it seems like the server mixed some
info up because of that. I'll better not 'test' again what happens when
entereing two different notes for one set at the same time, but you might
find a way to forbid it completely, maybe I'll be uncareful again one day.
Again, thanks a lot for the support, maybe you'll think about my description
also. And don't worry about slow replies, I am usually horribly slow in
replying also.
Bye, Christian --- xTI@N.

| (...) Aha! OK, then I see now how the ASCII 0 got there! :-) :-) When the low- level CGI stuff on the server receives two copies of the same field, it pastes them together with and ASCII 0 separator into a single string.
