Last Post By issue..

I took the plunge and upgraded from 3.8.4 to 4.01 tonight...

Having a display issue and I can't seem to figure out how to fix it.

In Forumdisplay and even in the postbit the usernames are showing up as ' "Offline">Username" ' (where Username is the actual users name).

The popup menu works.. the link takes you to the correct place.. however.. that is how it is displayed. It is not a template or style issue as it does it in ALL styles (even default).

Anyone have any suggestions one where to look? You can see an example here: http://www.kaaos.com/forumdisplay.php?10-Public

Looks to me like you edited a template, or installed a mod, that has messed up your html.

Create a new style with no parent:

• Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Add New Style
• Parent Style: No Parent Style
• Title: Default vBulletin
• Allow User Selection: Yes
• Save

Then browse the site using that totally default vbulletin style - do you still have the same problem?

If it is still happening - Try disabling your modifications/plugins and see if you still have this problem.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

PHP Code:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Created a New style.. it is the same result... http://www.kaaos.com/forum.php?styleid=17

Also.. Hooks currently disabled.. Same result.

I am not seeing the issue right now (and since you don't allow users to choose styles, I cannot see the default style). I assume you fixed it? What was the problem?

[CoryHawk]

Think i found it... Must have been something screwy in the install script...

it was the replacement phrase...

This is what was listed

$vbphrase[x_is_offline]

<span title="Offline" style="color: rgb(139, 27, 27);">Offline</span>

when I reverted it back to {1} is offline.. it was fixed.

Good catch! Glad you fixed it.
