Subject: Bug on adium xtras page
Greetings,
Hopefully this is the right address to reach the web master. I was just writing to inform you of a slight bug on the xtras page. I would have posted this in the forums but I'm unsure if it has other security implications as it seems to be a mysql/parsing bug. Any apostrophe character in the description like "I've" seems to cause an error on submitting the extra. Attached is a screenshot of my specific error. The line in question said "I've left thos sections in the plist though for anyone who would like to modify it as they please."
Thanks,
Dustin

I'm just finishing up testing on a patch that will switch from the
deprecated mysql_* functions to PDO and will fix errors like this.

Do we still want/need Google Analytics? I don't think it's worked since
2014 when Google changed the URL for the javascript.

The analytics data seems to be updating on the google side fine.

Finally pushed my changes! Fingers crossed nothing's broken.

I had to change the xtras mysql password because it was displayed in an
error message. I also turned off display_errors in php.ini.
