??
When I searched my admin/user.php, I only found 1 section with block of code he tells you to look for that includes the line "makeinputcode("Number of Posts","posts",$user[posts]);" in it, and then I put the code under that, like the directions said to.
Now if you were doing your searches for just "$user[posts]", then you would have run into problems that you are describing as there are multiple entrys in the page of "$user[posts]", but again, thats not what the directions were telling you to look for.
It's possible you really have just only one section like that, but some people [inlcuding me] have two...;]
Look at the sample fragment of my admin/user.php [vB 2.2.7]:
// ###################### Start add #######################

echo "Add New User";
doformheader("user","insert");

So, as you can see, there are really two sections in admin/user.php.... ;] But you're right. I searched for a shorter string cos my admin/user.php is hacked thoroughly and many strings don't match today at all, so I have to look for parts of them instead of using those exact samples from install faq.
