I'm suddenly getting all sorts of errors!
I was doing a search and the first few topics I clicked on were fine, then I started getting this repeatedly:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_buddy_img() in /home/slippero/public_html/forum/viewtopic.php on line 1082


When I went to the index page I got a whole lot of this above the header:

Not sure what's up - but something seems a bit screwy tonight....

However, now everything is working just fine. :confused:

Sorry, I was doing some background maintenance and deleted some files by mistake! I put the files where they belong and I think the forum should be back to normal.

Yes -- I had some weird message when I tried to PM someone. It, too is OK now.

What happened to the post about adding two fields for our name in our profile???

That post is in the Forum Announcement. :D

Ok, I just found it there. This response should probably go there, but --- I typed my name in the fields created, and deleted it from the location field. But in my postings, I don't see Dot anywhere. Did I make an error somehow?

The first name is only visible in the profile section. If you click on a member's profile, you should see the first name listed on the left below the Avatar. You can leave your first name in the location field if you want.

Oh, I understand now. I read it to mean that our first name would appear to the left of our postings. Wrong!

Thanks for the clarification.

hehehe, how confusing, eh?!
I thought the exact same thing, Dot - in fact I posted messages about it and then deleted them once I figured it out this morning. That was in my posting/deletion mode of the day. I think you and I are on the same page, lol!

Thanks for the explanation Peter, It was a real mess, and I was worried we'd been hacked but then it was all fine so...YAY!

Thanks for the clarification.

The first names are now added to the left of the postings, right below the avatar. It is nice to communicate with members with their real names posted.
