What would cause a theme to possibly behave erratically?

I downloaded a WordPress 1.5 theme (CoffeeCup, from the WordPress theme competition at alexking.org) and significantly altered the color scheme and graphics over a period of two weeks (project-am.info/blog) so I’m kinda reluctant to upgrade if it’s going to mess with my changes.

Thanks!

I can’t find those three characters in the file in Notepad or Notepad++.

Could phpmyadmin be doing it? I have an old version on my new server, it only accepts MySQL v4.0. . .

EDIT: Fixed. Cut and pasted the database into the input box and pressed “Query”. Everything’s fine now, I think. . .

Uh. . .didn’t work?

New Error Message:

Error
There is a chance that you may have found a bug in the SQL parser. Please examine your query closely, and check that the quotes are correct and not mis-matched. Other possible failure causes may be that you are uploading a file with binary outside of a quoted text area. You can also try your query on the MySQL command line interface. The MySQL server error output below, if there is any, may also help you in diagnosing the problem. If you still have problems or if the parser fails where the command line interface succeeds, please reduce your SQL query input to the single query that causes problems, and submit a bug report with the data chunk in the CUT section below:

I have an infinite amount of database copies.

Did what the first poster said; didn’t work. Sorry.

There aren’t any additional error messages, though. . .

EDIT: I’ll try the rest.

Thanks!
