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 '???' at line 1, occured in query: "select username from member where userid = ???".

okay...I clicked a persons PROFILE...then I hit THE LINK ON YOUR NEW PAGE to send an instant message, and  I got the above!?

so... would  I be sending an e mail or a message IF I was brave enough to even try with the errors?????????

I tried again...and I was at that person's home page...and I got :

The username entered does not exist.

huh??? is it just that I should not bother till your WHOLE site is done and the pieces are hooked up?? or I have to type the EXACT uesr name in and hope for the best?

AARGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
