If someone joins my list without a URL, and I approve them, a porn website appears in their URL section! No matter what I do, it’s still there! What’s going on?
Unfortunately, enough people have had this happen to them that we felt it necessary to add to the FAQ.
This porn links problem is most likely due to some spyware you’ve inadvertently downloaded. There are programs out there that insert porn websites into any URL form field they find, and it doesn’t stop until you get rid of the spyware.
Here are a few good spyware programs to try - each one tends to find different things, and each acts in its own way.
The only thing with Bazooka is that you have to remove the offending spyware manually, but they give thorough instructions and it’s usually quite simple.

I get an error that says “Warning: main(): stream does not support seeking in /home/site/public_html/fan/protection.php on line 24″, but only when I log out of my admin.php. Have I done something wrong?
It’s an error caused by certain server settings, meant to prevent the inclusion of malicious files. See this forum topic for more information and a quick fix: http://codegrrl.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8932.

PHPFanBase was working fine until yesterday, but all of a sudden I’m getting errors and I haven’t changed anything! What’s wrong?
If you genuinely haven’t changed anything at all, it may be a problem with your server/host. Give it a little while to see if the problem resolves itself and the error goes away. If after a few days the problem persists, contact your host to see if anything has changed their end.

I need to Edit my member information, but no matter what I try, it says “Sorry, no records were found! Please press the back button on your browser to try again…”
Try going into Edit Members and hitting Submit Query without entering any information into the text boxes at all. That should bring up all your members.

I deleted some members from my list, and now the IDs are all wrong (e.g. 1, 2, 5, 7, 8). What happened?
The member IDs are database IDs in MySQL, and MySQL gives out IDs that are truly unique. This means that each ID will only be given out once and cannot be re-used, even after a member has been deleted. You can’t change this without hacking the script.
