i have no idea about php(even though i wouldn't like learning but from what i can determine this is the difference,

showgroups.php 3.8.2:

PHP Code:

// 2 is the default location field and the one we always use in the template
$show['locationfield'] = $db->query_first("
 SELECT profilefieldid
 FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "profilefield
 WHERE profilefieldid = 2
");
$show['contactinfo'] = (bool)$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'];
function process_showgroups_userinfo($user)
{
 global $vbulletin, $permissions, $stylevar, $show;
 $user = array_merge($user, convert_bits_to_array($user['options'], $vbulletin->bf_misc_useroptions));
 $user = array_merge($user, convert_bits_to_array($user['adminoptions'], $vbulletin->bf_misc_adminoptions));
 cache_permissions($user, false);
 fetch_online_status($user, true);
 if ((!$user['invisible'] OR $permissions['genericpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_genericpermissions['canseehidden']))
 {
  $user['lastonline'] = vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $user['lastactivity'], 1);
 }
 else
 {
  $user['lastonline'] = ' ';
 }
 fetch_musername($user);
 return $user;
} 


3.6.8 showgroups.php:

PHP Code:

$show['locationfield'] = false;
function process_showgroups_userinfo($user)
{
 global $vbulletin, $permissions, $stylevar, $show;
 $post =& $user;
 $datecut = TIMENOW - $vbulletin->options['cookietimeout'];
 require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_bigthree.php');
 fetch_online_status($user, true);
 if ((!$user['invisible'] OR $permissions['genericpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_genericpermissions['canseehidden']))
 {
  $user['lastonline'] = vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $user['lastactivity'], 1);
 }
 else
 {
  $user['lastonline'] = ' ';
 }
 fetch_musername($user);
 return $user;
}
