It sounds like the postbit for showthread is broken somehow. The only thing in there that is usergroup related is the "can_moderate" function. It might be worth trying the version that allows everyone to see old posts.

Another question, as admin do you use a different version of the postbit template ? Maybe you use postbit_legacy ? Also, if you use a different style that might be it as well.

Also, there might be a problem caused by other edits to the postbit template. Are you using the default version of the postbit template ?

There are two places where showthread could be being broken:

-- the plugin where the postbit is modified. This is the plugin using the "parse_templates" hook. It is called "POST-HIST: modify postbits". If you disable that, then the original postbit will be used, but you should still be able to view older versions of a post using the URL directly.

for example:
<forumname>/showthread.php?p=69841&prev_postid=69841&prev_edit num=0#post69841

allows you see the original version of a post before any edits. (change 69841 to the postid of the post you want to examine)

-- in showthread.php, this is where posts are replaced by older versions

The plugin is uses the "showthread_postbit_create" hook and is called "POST-HIST: update showthread"

If you can see the threads with this plugin disabled then this shows that this is where the problem is.

If not, then check if disabling just the plugin relating to the postbit allows the you to see threads normally.

Also, using guest login would probably allow you to replicate the problem
