Invalid use of Null: 'replace'

/forum/functions/functions_filters.asp, line 524

I tried following the thread, but it didn't really give any solution to the above problem, that I can see.  At first I tried posting a picture (I followed the posted instructions exactly) but I got to the point where I was simply trying to add some text to my sig.  Every time I tried to update profile, I got the above message.  I tried these same steps a few weeks ago and had the same problem.  Any help would be appreciated.

SOMEONE NEEDS TO COME UP WITH A BETTER WAY.

If you wish to keep your old signature:

2) Find the forum signature box
3) With your mouse, highlight all the text in the box and copy it
4) Go into the forums
5) Click the "Settings" button near the top of the page.
6) Click the "Profile Information" link
7) In the box marked "Signature" paste in your old signature.
8) If you have forum tags ie. |IMG| or |URL| in your old signature, you need to convert them to the new forum tags
   8a) Replace the first | in tags like |IMG| |URL| |/IMG| |/URL| with [ 
   8b) Replace the second | in tags with ]
9) For a list of valid forum tags, click the "Forum Codes" link to the left of the signature box.
10) Finally... Test Your Signature!  But NOT in a forum thread!
    10a) Use the "Signature Preview" link just below the signature box.

This part is just a tip if you are short on space and trying to post a link to an image:

HERE'S A TIP!
If you are using a picture that is on C3VR.com, to save character space:
Instead of creating the link like this:
|IMG|http://www.c3vr.com/member_uploads/1_100/4/mypic.jpg|/IMG|
create your link like this:
|IMG|/member_uploads/1_100/4/mypic.jpg|/IMG|
If you are creating a link to a picture or page on C3VR, create your link like this:
|URL|/member_pages/1_100/4/mypage.html|/URL|
*** Of course, make sure to use the new Forum Codes for IMG and URL!

This part is just a reminder about image sizes:

AND A REMINDER!
If you are going to include an image in your signature please resize the image, or a copy of it, to be no more than 200 pixels wide.
