Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Problem viewing last poster's profile from category page

    Go to any of the category listings ( After Hours, Games etc. ) and click on the last poster's name. You should be greeted by something resembling the After Hours part of the DHTML drop down menu, and not the expected user profile.
    On examining the source code, the problem becomes a little more identifiable... a MySQL syntax error. It seems the DHTML menu code has somehow managed to muscle it's way into the middle of the retrieval of a threadID. The results of my 20-30 second test program clearly show that the problem only occurs on request of the profile of the last poster in a forum, *from* one of the category listings (doesn't happen for last poster on the main forum listing).
    The guilty query looks like this:
    SELECT threadid FROM thread WHERE forumid IN (0[DHTML menu code here],12) AND visible=1 etc. etc.
    It looks to me very much like conflicting variable names in the script, but that's nothing more than a guess. Fairly annoying bug though, quite strange.
    Can't wait to hear the solution :p
