In the Last Post area as you can see, some forums show a name after Last Post, some don’t, ever seen this before or have any ideas?  I tried changing my themes to make sure it wasn’t a theme issue but that seemed to make no difference in this case.

Ever seen this one before or have any ideas?

Thanks fellas!

I have only ever seen it on your site during the discussion on signatures. In fact I believe I mentioned it then. I think at the time I was asking if you had multiple accounts on the forum. Not sure how far we went after that… But this is definitely connected,

Well, I did create the OBMC-ADMIN account in addition to mine when I was initially troubleshooting the signature issue.  I could certainly that account.  Sorry I must have missed your earlier mentioning of that.  Happy to delete it if you think that would help?

 

EDIT – went ahead and deleted it.

might be worth going to forum – toolbox – housekeeping and updating the forum indexes where you see this…  not sure where @yellow-swordfish was going, but if things got out of sequence, might help…

Still showing the same thing after updating the forum indexes.

does the user who made the post still exist?  can you go to the post (click on the link)… is the user listed there?  and if you click on the username, do you get a valid profile for that user?

All these things are directly linked in some way to your account. I just have no idea at the moment what could cause them!

I was going to say that I think we could do with looking at your database – but am I correct in remembering that you sent us one a while back? If so I have not seen it.

@mr-papa – do you recall this?

db?  if so, long ago, I no longer have it…

and the other questions I asked?

Sorry if I missed other questions.  I am the user, I clicked it and yes I get to my profile OK.  Were there other questions I missed?

i am confused. Did you send us a database? if so I am afraid I don’t believe I ever saw a copy. And I think that is what we need…

 Trying to get that DB to you but it is apparently too big for PM

Yes – it would be. Can you email it to support at simple-press dot com instead…

I received the database, have take a look at it and also sent you a question.

However, I can’t help noticing that you seem to have been making liberal use of the ‘hide_poster’ plugin. if the topics/posts you have used this on match the ones that do not show the data you are expecting then I suspect this is the reason.

Ah, very good point!  Didnt know it was in use and had not thought of it!

That is exactly what the hide poster plugin is for…  so if you used that on the post, it wont show the user in any location where that post may be displayed…
