Are you sure you put that line in the right place? This hack cannot cause a parse error, since all it does is add another "AND" requirement to the query that gets all the emails to be sent to when a new reply is made.

Without my hack, the query looks like this:

PHP Code:


  $useremails=$DB_site->query("SELECT user.*
                               FROM subscribethread,user
                               WHERE subscribethread.threadid='$threadid'
                                 AND subscribethread.userid=user.userid
                                 AND user.userid<>'$userid'
                                 AND user.lastactivity>'$lastposttime[dateline]'"); 


After my hack, the query looks like this:

PHP Code:


  $useremails=$DB_site->query("SELECT user.*
                               FROM subscribethread,user
                               WHERE subscribethread.threadid='$threadid'
                                 AND subscribethread.userid=user.userid
                                 AND user.userid<>'$userid'
         AND user.usergroupid NOT IN (1,3,4,8,17)
                                 AND user.lastactivity>'$lastposttime[dateline]'"); 


Go and install the hack again, and make sure that you are putting that extra line in the right place in functions.php - this hack does NOT and can NOT interfere with any other hack. It just adds another requirement to that specific query.
