Private Message postbit not displaying correctly

[justinnethers]

It's been like this for a while, I've tried figuring it out on my own but I haven't been able to fix it yet. Any ideas what might be causing the PM postbit to do this?

Postbit works fine for regular posts, just not for PMs. I had made some postbit_legacy template changes to add some functionality to the threadban mod but backing those changes out doesn't do anything.

Does it show like that on a unmodified default style? If so see if it is a mod causing the issues.

Open your config.php and below<?php add this line:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

So it looks like this:
<?php
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Yeah, that brought it back to normal. I'll take a look at mods I've enabled recently. Thanks!

Yeah, I would remove that from the config.php and disable the mods one by one till you find which one is the cause, then report back.

It was the Ban Thread User mod. I've been using that mod for a couple years now but it wasn't until recently that I modded the template to give a better visual representation of users that have been banned. Essentially it is just turning the posthead red for banned users. If I remove the changes I made to the template it doesn't fix anything.

Then it is conflicting with that mod, I would post the issue in the mod authors thread where you got the mod from. :)
