problems with "username" in admin area

[hm2k]

Hi there,

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 can't believe that no one has ever experienced this before.

Its the oddest thing i've ever seen.

I have two admins, one is "dave" one is "webmaster", when I lookup ANY user using ANY admin account, it ALWAYS puts the username as "webmaster".

Its ever so strange, there must be a reason for this.

Please help!

Thanks.

It's the Firefox automatic form filling.
Turn it off.

I don't use firefox myself but I think it's in the options>privacy> saved form information bit.

So it is.

Is there any other way around this?

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.

Thanks.

This was the solution they came up with over at the Mozilla Forum I managed to find...

What exactly that means, i'm not sure...

However I do think that the phpBB developers should bare this in mind, as this is the solution to a common bug.

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