Hmmmm.... I'm running vB 3.0.0 and not having that problem. Double-check the code. See my screenshot from today.


(Edit)
Oh -- you said you're running 3.0.3 (you might want to update your profile). I'm not sure -- maybe that's the problem. I won't know until I upgrade to 3.0.3, which won't be for a couple of months....

I checked the code (its not so much :D) and this is looking like yours!

Hmmmm..... I'm just not sure what the problem is, unless 3.0.3 handles something differently. Maybe someone familiar with 3.0.3 could help by looking at my code. Sorry!

It's not updating the thread title or the link to the birthday thread with the last post icon. It is updating the last poster name fine, but not the other 2. It is pulling the infor from the last post made before the birthday cron job ran. Any idea what might be causing this?

That's strange. I never noticed it before, but you're right. For instance, last night it created a new birthday thread, but the title and link that shows up on the forum-home is for yesterday's birthday thread. Weird. Let me look into it and try to figure it out.

It seems to have the right title and link for new posts.... ???

Yessir. Otherwise, it is normal. Just when it makes a birthday thread. Maybe the post query should be run before the thread query? ;)

Yeah I noticed that when I first installed it, but it didn't really bother me because it usually doesn't stay the last post for long. But it changes the last poster's username but not the title ;x

Would be cool to get a fix to that though, thanks :)

Well, I tried switching the post and thread creation and it just creates an empty thread. I think the problem is with this line:

$log_threadid=$DB_site->insert_id();

I think the insert_id() function is no longer valid in vB3, so it enters a thread id that is NULL. So, it doesn't show up until the next day. Make sense?

Anyone know what the function insert_id() was replaced with?

Any solutions so far?

Well, I've looked some code in newthread.php and I think I could re-write this hack to work correctly and streamline it a bit. I won't have time for a while, though (I've having surgery on Tuesday and will be out for a few weeks). I'll look back into it as soon as I can. :)

Thanks,
