[bbDev] Possible Bug: bb_get_user needs a numeric ID

[Harvey Ramer]

There are no non-numeric user IDs. I am running mod_rewrite but not using it
on this application.

It worked when I changed my password and logged in on the main screen as I
suppose normal people will. I logged in from the password reset screen.
That's where the error seems to have come from.

I'll let you know if it happens again.

Harvey,
Are you running with mod_rewrite on? Does this occur to all users or just
your admin account?

Also, have you popped into phpMyAdmin (or whatever you use) to check to make
sure there aren't any abnormal user IDs?
