Well, the problem is that he doesn't have anything finishing this statement:
userid<>

userid is not equal to what?

After correcting what Mark has mentioned, check ORDER BY RAND() part too.. This is wrong either..

[aspire007]

in the file index.php where it is refering me i see this --

$newmember=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid,username
FROM user
WHERE userid<>$daybits[1]
AND (usergroupid=5
OR usergroupid=6
OR usergroupid=7
OR usergroupid=2)
ORDER BY RAND()
LIMIT 1");

can you guys tell me what you would do? i didnt understand what you meant?

That's the hack from firefly: Member of the day (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=34779)

The code is good, could u post the lines above that code starting by "// start member of the day stuff"?

ORDER BY RAND() is perfectly fine.

sure :) here is the whole member of the day hack i have on my index.php

// start member of the day stuff
$thisdate=date('Y-m-d');
$getdaytemplate=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT template
FROM template
WHERE title='memberoftheday'
AND templatesetid=-2");
$daytemplate=$getdaytemplate['template'];
$daybits=explode('||vb||',$daytemplate);
if ($daybits[0]!=$thisdate or ($resetmember==1 and $bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==6)) {
/* This template is either outdated or the admin wants to reset it.
Either way, we need to choose a new member of the day. Aren't you excited?! */
$newmember=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid,username
FROM user
WHERE userid<>$daybits[1]
AND (usergroupid=5
OR usergroupid=6
OR usergroupid=7
OR usergroupid=2)
ORDER BY RAND()
LIMIT 1");
$newtemplate=$thisdate.'||vb||'.$newmember['userid'].'||vb||'.$newmember['username'];
$DB_site->query("UPDATE template
SET template='".addslashes($newtemplate)."'
WHERE templatesetid=-2
AND title='memberoftheday'");
$memberoftheday['userid']=$newmember['userid'];
$memberoftheday['username']=$newmember['username'];
} else {
$memberoftheday['userid']=$daybits[1];
$memberoftheday['username']=$daybits[2];
}
// end of member of the day stuff
