Ok, For absoltly NO reason what so ever, my board has stopped working. I get this error why trying to post:
Warning: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 3 in /var/www/vodatones.com/html/ubb/addpost.php on line 548
Warning: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 3 in /var/www/vodatones.com/html/ubb/addpost.php on line 549
We cannot proceed Post already exists.
There is no reason why this shouldn't work. The only thing I can think of is that I restarted the server earlier but I've done this before and it worked fine. I just also went to check mysql and it said the mysql server wasn't running which I thought was weird. So I started it, and I still get the same error.
What the hell has happened? I haven't touched anything!!!!
Please help

As an update to this, some people seem to have managed to post but there's no text.....it's really weird. I dont know how they have managed to do it, but also some posts dont have a title either. It's like there's supposed to be text there but it's not.
Please someone have a look: http//:www.vodatones.com/ubb

Ok I've sorted this now, it was because I tried editing the banned words earlier and put * before the word and after the word (on all words), like this:
*[censored]* *dick* *arse*
etc....
Only thing is, I have 2 post now in 1 of the sections with no title. Because they have no title I cant click to enter them and delete them. How can I remove these posts please?
If you want to know why I did this with the swear filter, please see my other topic in this section called "swear filter is rubbish"

ok it appears there still is a major problem.
When we edit posts it changes ALL the words to [censored]
Even though I've changed the banned words list to NOTHING....it's empty. So I thought the it might just be slow at updating....so i restarted the server AGAIN and it's still happening.
I have no idea whats going on here, I need some help asap please. I'll check for replies every 5 mins....please help someone

The censored words feature is more or less the opposite of "user-friendly". If you have an empty bad words file, you have to make sure that you don't have censoring enabled.

LOL Yeah, extra lines in the badwords file are bad.. and having an empy file with a censor word in the config file basically causes it to censor "spaces". There really needs to be a check in place for that. That issue is pretty common.
