Last poster invisible?
 
1 Attachment(s)
I have no idea how but somehow for one of my forums the last posters username is now showing up. If I click on my logo to go to forum homepage I will see their username for a fraction of a second but then it goes blank again.

Edit: Also the strangest thing happens when I log out. That same forum where the user was invisible, I can see the last poster, however another forums last poster is invisible to me... Both times only one of my forums has an invisible last poster.

Have you tried on a unmodified default style?
Have you tried with all mods disabled?
What vB version and PHP version are you running?

To temporarily disable all mods, edit includes/config.php file and add this line right under <?php add the following.
PHP Code:
 define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); 
So it looks like this:
PHP Code:
 <?php
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Yeah on our default style there is no issue. We are running vb 4.2.2 patch level 4. Let me disable all mods and see if that changes anything.

Well then if it is working right on the default style, then it is a issue with the custom style. You will need to contact the style developer and ask them to fix it.

I think it might be a permission issue somehow though, because when I tried replying to a post in that forum it said "Sorry! This forum is not accepting new posts." I'm not sure what to change to fix that though everything seems to be okay. Any idea where to look?

ozzy47 02-14-2015 11:59 PM
Well if it was a permission issue, don't ya think you would have the same results on the default style? :)

It's one of those new "responsive" styles that has its own permissions...

MistViper 02-15-2015 12:03 AM
Well I've been using this theme for 4 weeks now without this issue, so it would be weird that it shows up now :/

Edit: The issue with not being able to post was my mistake, the user made two threads so I deleted one and was trying to post in that one, because I had it open in another tab. So still have no idea what the problem is though.

ozzy47 02-15-2015 12:07 AM
Again, the issue lies in the custom style, since it is not happening on the default style, regardless if it just started happening, or has always happened. :)

MistViper 02-15-2015 12:09 AM
Alright, is there anything I can do to find the issue in the code myself? I would prefer to not wait a few days or more for the creator of the style to respond to me.

ozzy47 02-15-2015 12:11 AM
Who knows, it depends on how the designer coded the style, that is why it is best to ask them.

Want to check it out yourself Ozzy? I'll hit you up with admin access and you could give it a quick look and I'm sure you would know whats wrong :P. I'll contact the designer too though haha (you're the master Ozzy)

ozzy47 02-15-2015 12:15 AM
Normally I would, but I am a bit backlogged ATM, so I would not have the time. :(

MistViper 02-15-2015 12:16 AM
I understand, it's all good. I just PMed the designer so I'm hoping he gets back to me soon. Me and my fellow admin on the forum made a few tweaks to the style so that could be it as well.

ozzy47 02-15-2015 12:20 AM
Well install the style again, with a different name, and see if you get the same results.

Install any new plugins or products? make any edits to the templates?

Usually when something suddenly changes, it's because of a change we made.

MistViper 02-15-2015 12:27 AM
Alright I'll try that, but what I don't understand is why can guests see the username when an admin can't but then the guests cant see a different last poster that I can... That's just confusing me.

Yes my partner and I made some edits, mostly him so I'm going to ask him when he gets online and that could fix the issue.

ozzy47 02-15-2015 12:29 AM
If conditionals are not set right, of the coding is missing tags, that could do it.

MistViper 02-15-2015 12:33 AM
Oh ok thanks Ozzy, going to try and get this fixed asap.

Yeah that must be it, because I just uploaded the original style and there is no problem.

Edit: I figured out the issue is something in the additional.css that my website partner edited and something is not right. I'm not good at coding in any aspect so I can't fix this myself without potentially making it worse, so I'm going to have to wait until he gets back on unless some brave soul wants to take a peak :P
