Essentially if you are editing a post the $post array does not exist, as another context is used instead. So you lose the username.

I've added a switch that tests for this, and if $post doesn't exist, it uses the name of the current poster... fine for my forum as I only allow post owners to edit their messages... but this is a crude hack and it will break when an admin or mod edits their post... so not good.

Does anyone know a better context that I can use? How to find out the equivalent of an $editpost array or the post id so that I can get the proper name.
