I have a problem with the username field in the admin area.
Whatever username i lookup, it grabs the 2nd admin account I created as the username, which is set as webmaster, so whoever i lookup has the username webmaster.
Anyway, i'm not sure why this is, i think its perhaps something to do with the way I upgraded the phpbb.
Firstly, I was sent the phpbb database from an old site, which I restored, then I installed phpbb x.14, then I upgraded it to phpbb x.16
I have the files that were used on the original forum, before i restored the db, is there a way to work out what version of phpbb it was from the php scripts, and then upgrade the database correctly and accordingly to latest.
I hope I haven't confused you too much.
Please help. Thanks.
PS. I'm afraid I cannot include the domain for security reasons.
I like the saved information option, perhaps there's a way to turn it off for one site, or maybe a way to adjust the phpbb code so that it doesn't get affected by this issue.

This is NOT a phpBB bug. Change your autocomplete settings in FF.

using any control-panel install/update is like shooting yourself in the foot. It won't kill you, but you're really going to hobble around until it heals.
Using the wrong tools (Front Page, DreamWeaver) gives the same results
