I have a problem showing the original author of the thread. Sort by dateline instead of lastpost is working fine. MySQL queries for original author is looking fine to me. :ermm:
Script is located at http://www.dvdboard.de/news.php
I used the code provided in this thread and attached my files below (removed all comments so it's easier to read).
Thank you for any kind of help.

Edit: To answer myself, look for $threads[lastposter] and replace it with $threads[postusername]. Stupid me. :)
