Topic: bad HTML in description messing up site

I put some bad HTML into the description on the options page, and now I can't change it back.

The field to enter the description no longer shows up on the page, due to the bad HTML.

the forum is boone.portbb.com

I did, but it seems like he's having problems getting it fixed. he was going to try and fix it from the database side,  but hasn't had any luck.  I was just trying to help him along.

Re: bad HTML in description messing up site

That's odd, it's extremely simple to do.
The query:

update prefixconfig set conf_value = NULL where conf_name = 'o_board_desc'

where prefix is the db_prefix for the forum
