As a new member, I've had a look around and as far as I know I'm not going against any rules, but if I have (inadvertently), I shall spent five minutes in the pain glove for my sins!

I'm trying to load my profile page to edit a few things (my sig for one) and keep getting this message:

java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "∞"

I'm not sure what's causing it, and everything else about the site seems to be okay, so I'm not sure if my computer is playing up or whether it's because I'm a new member.

Advice would be most appreciated! ^_^

That's just odd.

I mean, really odd. Maybe your profile hasn't loaded up yet? Or maybe you don't exist. Maybe you're an internet ghost.

Ghoooost!

That would be cool. However, I don't really believe in ghosts, and if I was a ghost, then I'd have a major existential crisis.

I don't want a crisis

Standard questions: What browser (and version) are you using? Do you have any plugins enabled? What OS? Any other sites acting up for you?

I'm using latest version of Firefox with Windows Vista (basic). Any and all plugins are current, and the rest of Dakka is working fine for me, except I can't access my profile (I assume that clicking on my name at the top is how you'd access that).

I'm not in that much of a rush to edit it. Hopefully, it'll settle eventually
