Users are always happy to get new toys.

Fantastic, some of my users will be really happy for this, at least when I've upgraded so that it can be installed. =]

Installed, some users are happy (cause our board is expanded thread view by default).

One suggested addition would be to add this to the admin's profile editor as well (admin/showoneuser.php)

Other scripts need altering too for this mod:

addpost.php - After adding a post the page to send them back to is based on dateslip.

showflat.php/showthreaded.php - queries for prev/next post are based on dateslip and if the default doesn't match the user's option prev/next won't go in the right order.

I get this SQL error (I run 6.5) after installing the mod:
How please can I correct this? can someone please give me the correct syntax? I'm no expert on mySQL.

Script: /home/ac2/public_html/board/changedisplay.php
Line#: 137
SQL Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'U_TimeFormat = 'short1' WHERE U_Username = 'bcc'' at line
SQL Error #: 1064
Query: UPDATE w3t_Users SET U_LastOn = '1103681073', U_Display = 'flat', U_View = 'collapsed', U_PostsPer = '40', U_TextCols = '60', U_TextRows = '5', U_StyleSheet = 'greenday', U_Preview = 'on', U_PictureView = 'on', U_PicturePosts = 'on', U_Language = 'english', U_FlatPosts = '40', U_TimeOffset = '0', U_FrontPage = 'ubbthreads', U_StartPage = 'mi', U_ShowSigs = 'yes', U_DateSlip = '2' U_TimeFormat = 'short1' WHERE U_Username = 'bcc'

In changedisplay.php...

CHANGE THIS:

Code

 <br />    U_ShowSigs       = '$ShowSigs_q', <br />    U_DateSlip = '$Dateslip_q' <br />

TO THIS:

Code

 <br />    U_ShowSigs       = '$ShowSigs_q', <br />    U_DateSlip = '$Dateslip_q', <br />

That error will occur if you aren't using v6.3 and apply the changes exactly as mentioned in the mod.

Thank you VERY much indeed. This solved the problem.
