User deleted -> posts are still in the threads, but NOT shown

[firewire]

Hi,
I have a somehow strange problem.
When a user is deleted (but his/her posts are not), then he/she would normally show up as guest, but the posts would still be there.

Now I find that within a thread, the user's posts is still there in the list, but the content is not shown (cf. http://www.dvdboard.de/forum/showthr...81#post1096381 ). When I click "show posts" in the mod panel, the text is displayed, so it is still there, but not in the normal forum context.

Any hint on this?
Thanks.

I have never encountered this problem before. I suspect there may be a customization that is causing this. Try to reproduce it on a default style:

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> [Add New Style]

Create a new style with no parent. Then click that style's name in the Style Manager to view your forum with that style.

If you still have the problem then try disabling your plugins:

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Plugin/Hook System

Also run a file check to look for customized files:

Admin CP -> Maintenance -> Diagnostics -> Suspect File Versions

Hi Jake,

thanks a lot, it's indeed a style poblem.
Allthough I do not have that much templates modified, I cannot seem to find the one responsible for it.
Showthread and postbit have been modified (among others), but reverting them does not help.
Could you point me to other templates potentially responsible for this?

Here's the problematic post's code:

<!-- post #1085224 -->

	<!-- open content container -->

<div align="center">
	<div class="page" style="width:100%; text-align:left">
		<div style="padding:0px 1px 0px 1px">

	<div id="edit1085224" style="padding:0px 0px 6px 0px">
	<!-- this is not the last post shown on the page -->	



<table id="post1085224" class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

<tr>
	
		<td class="thead" style="font-weight:normal; border: 1px solid #E6E6E6; border-right: 0px" >		
			<!-- status icon and date -->
			<a name="post1085224"><img class="inlineimg" src="/forum/images/statusicon/post_old.gif" alt="Alt" border="0" /></a>

			<!-- / status icon and date -->				
		</td>
		<td class="thead" style="font-weight:normal; border: 1px solid #E6E6E6; border-left: 0px" align="right">

				<input type="checkbox" name="plist[1085224]" id="plist_1085224" style="vertical-align:middle; padding:0px; margin:0px 0px 0px 5px" value="8" />
			
		</td>
	
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
	<td class="alt2" width="175" style="border: 1px solid #E6E6E6; border-top: 0px; border-bottom: 0px">
			
			<div id="postmenu_1085224">
				
				webwude
				
			</div>
			
			
			
		
			
			
			<div class="smallfont">
				&nbsp;<br />

				
				
				
				<div>
					Beiträge: n/a
				</div>

				

    
    
	
 
	</table>
</div>
<!-- / post 1085224 popup menu -->


	</div>
	
		</div>	
	</div>

</div>

<!-- / close content container -->

<!-- / post #1085224 -->

Your (or anybody else's) help is greatly appreciated.

Murphy's law, I found it. The problem was the postbit_legacy template.
After reverting it, the post is shown. I will now dig in to see what's causing the problem.
Issue solved, thanks again.
