Sufyan A Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) Fixing this seems necessary to me, it's not hard either. You can fix it by doing the following (using a FTP program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP): Go to the hooks folder in the forum directory (/forum/hooks/) Find tbGfSkinSearch_12345.php (12345 are random, unique numbers) Replace this line: $data['last_poster'] = $data['last_poster_id'] ? IPSMember::makeProfileLink( TBGroupFormat::makeNameFormatted( $data, $data['last_poster_name'], $data['last_poster_group'], 'last_poster_id' ), $data['last_poster_id'], $data['seo_last_name'] ) : $this->settings['guest_name_pre'] . $data['last_poster_name'] . $this->settings['guest_name_suf']; With this: /*$data['last_poster'] = $data['last_poster_id'] ? IPSMember::makeProfileLink( TBGroupFormat::makeNameFormatted( $data, $data['last_poster_name'], $data['last_poster_group'], 'last_poster_id' ), $data['last_poster_id'], $data['seo_last_name'] ) : $this->settings['guest_name_pre'] . $data['last_poster_name'] . $this->settings['guest_name_suf'];*/ Save the file & done.

Jordan Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 I've suggested this before. The problem is it's a recurring problem. After fixing it, it automatically is over-written when the next action is committed. So it's only a temporary fix that lasts less than an hour. I have been waiting on IPB for a permanent fix, and will notify the admins when one does pop up.
Sufyan A Posted August 11, 2013 Author Posted August 11, 2013 The only problem with fixing it is that each time you change the forums, this gets messed up again. At least this is the experience I've had in the past with it. That's due to cache. Set the permissions for the file to be unwritable, that should fix it.

Just created a whole new file. It's worth a shot though.
