Lastposter query
 

Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong in this query? I am trying to set the lastposter as the original poster of the message (this query is from the editpost.php):

$postusername hast to be set already or it won't work.

but here you can use a simpler method:

Isn't that basically the same code I have above?

And it's still not working. When I save an editpost using this, I get my name on it on the thread and forum list and not the name of the user who wrote the post.

no the difference is that my query uses directly the info in the db
if this querie doesn't produce what you want there is either a problem i don't understand exactly what you wan, or the postusername is set wrong in your thread or (most likely) the lastposter is overwritten after that querie again

What I am doing is this: I have a checkbox in the editpost that when checked will update that post with the current date and time (like a newreply). But when I do that, it seems to want to put my name in the thread listing and forum listing as the last poster instead of the original poster of that message. If you want, I can pm you the code for the hack to look at. (It is small). ;)

hmm just be sure that nowhere below that code is anything like lastposter=$bbuserinfo[username] ;)

"lastposter=" is not anywhere in the editpost (mine or the original). What could be causing that?
