this problem is also found in XD Error.
I found a fix.
Look in the forums folder of the theme. look for the file posting_body.tpl
Look for this code... at line 247
Code:
<!-- BEGIN switch_username_select -->
<tr>
<td class="row1"><span class="gen"><b>{L_USERNAME}</b></span></td>
<td class="row2"><span class="genmed">
<input type="text" class="post" tabindex="1" name="username" size="25" maxlength="25" value="{USERNAME}" />
</span></td>
</tr>
<!-- END switch_username_select -->
<!-- BEGIN switch_privmsg -->
<tr>
<td class="row1"><span class="gen"><b>{L_USERNAME}</b></span></td>
<td class="row2"><span class="genmed">
<input type="text" class="post" name="username2" maxlength="25" size="25" tabindex="1" value="{USERNAME}" />
<input type="submit" name="usersubmit" value="{L_FIND_USERNAME}" class="liteoption" onclick="window.open('{U_SEARCH_USER}', '_phpbbsearch', 'HEIGHT=250,resizable=yes,WIDTH=400');return false;" />
</span></td>
</tr>
<!-- END switch_privmsg -->
Now replace it with this (from XD Obtuse)
Code:
<!-- BEGIN switch_username_select -->
<tr>
<td class="row1"><span class="gen"><b>{L_USERNAME}</b></span></td>
<td class="row2"><span class="genmed"><input type="text" class="post" tabindex="1" name="username" size="25" maxlength="25" value="{USERNAME}" /></span></td>
</tr>
<!-- END switch_username_select -->
<!-- BEGIN switch_privmsg -->
<tr>
<td class="row1"><span class="gen"><b>{L_USERNAME}</b></span></td>
<td class="row2"><span class="genmed"><input type="text" class="post" name="username" maxlength="25" size="25" tabindex="1" value="{USERNAME}" /> <input type="submit" name="usersubmit" value="{L_FIND_USERNAME}" class="liteoption" onClick="window.open('{U_SEARCH_USER}', '_phpbbsearch', 'HEIGHT=250,resizable=yes,WIDTH=400');return false;" /></span></td>
</tr>
<!-- END switch_privmsg -->
I hope it works for you too. I am not as brilliant as Mrs.X so I can;t tell you why it was failing. But a little trouble shooting got me to this place. Perhaps Mrs.T can find favor in my help.
PS the emoticons seem to be a typo too. I will try and solve it as well.
