UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? Unregistered users cant post

I've set up a forum specifically for unregistered users, so they can post there if they are having trouble either logging in or registration.
Theres a problem.
If you post a topic when not logged in, it all goes through ok, but doesnt acrually show up.
When I log back in, I can see the post has been entered on the list of forums, but when you click on the post, theres nothing there. So basically the header is there, but no body.

Try this query - my guess is that you're missing the placeholder user - user#1.

SELECT U_Username
FROM w3t_Users
WHERE U_Number = 1


If that doesn't return any results - then you need to insert the "DONOTDELETE" user.

INSERT INTO w3t_Users
(U_Username,U_Groups)
VALUES
('**DONOTDELETE**','-4-')

ok, just done that, and it still returns no results.

any other ideas? (in case this thread had been forgotten)

I posted what to do if you didn't get any results - your DONOTDELETE placeholder user is missing.

But - I did forget to also do this query:

UPDATE w3t_Users
SET U_Number = 1
WHERE U_Username = '**DONOTDELETE**'


That *should* do it. <fingers crossed>

Works like a dream now!
thanks josh!
