phpBB • Free and Open Source Forum Software

Sorry of this problem is already in, couldn't seem to find a specific search to locate a possible duplicate.

This problem was pre-existing before the 3.0.2 upgrade as well.
I have this problem in prosilver. I am not sure about any other style.

If person A starts a topic, then person B posts on that topic, then person A deletes their post, the started by link in viewforum now says person B like it should, but when you click on it, it takes you to the profile of person A.

Confirmed on 3.0.1. This is when you click the link in the Author column in viewforum, the links in viewtopic are fine.

Confirmed in phpBB 3.0.2 also!

I just wanted to ask that please, when there is a fix for this, to please include a way to fix or resync the currently messed up topics.
I have many topic author links that are not right, and that number grows almost daily for me.

Hi,

I have experienced this issue also and found that there is missing update a field's value.

Here is my fix.
Test it on a test board before apply to live forum.

Open includes/functions_posting.php
FIND

Code: Select all: $sql_data[TOPICS_TABLE] = 'topic_first_post_id = ' . intval($row['post_id']) . ", topic_first_poster_colour = '" . $db->sql_escape($row['user_colour']) . "', topic_first_poster_name = '" . (($row['poster_id'] == ANONYMOUS) ? $db->sql_escape($row['post_username']) : $db->sql_escape($row['username'])) . "'";

REPLACE WITH

Code: Select all: $sql_data[TOPICS_TABLE] = 'topic_poster = ' . intval($row['poster_id']) . ', topic_first_post_id = ' . intval($row['post_id']) . ", topic_first_poster_colour = '" . $db->sql_escape($row['user_colour']) . "', topic_first_poster_name = '" . (($row['poster_id'] == ANONYMOUS) ? $db->sql_escape($row['post_username']) : $db->sql_escape($row['username'])) . "'";
