Please describe your problem. This is a test instance that's copied from our production board, separate database but identical setup. After upgrading to anything past 3.0.5 (ie 3.0.6 or 3.0.7), will get ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated [1756] error.

I can bypass the error by editing phpBB3/styles/prosilver/template/overall_header.html, remove the space in front of " 'height=225,resi....." in the line that says window.open(url.replace(/&/g, '&'), '_phpbbprivmsg', 'height=225,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes, width=400');.

Then, the next error will occur whenever I try to post, w/ error ORA-01704: string literal too long [1704].

This seems like a CLOB problem, anything larger than 4000 character isn't getting inserted on this particular page.

Error detail see attached image.
