You're using vB 5.6.8, right? I'll check and investigate when I get home.

[Snowhog]

No. We are still on 5.6.4.

[glennrocksvb]

That's old and no longer supported by vB. You don't have any plans to upgrade? But I'll see if I can set up 5.6.4 on my local and try to reproduce the issue.

[glennrocksvb]

I see where the issue is. The mod is using the user's display name for the online status. The display name is null by default for older vB versions. For newer ones, it is set to be the same as username by default. I will update the mod to use display name if available and use username as the fallback.

[glennrocksvb]

Display name feature was introduced in vB 5.6.7. That means it would return null for vB 5.6.6 and older.

[glennrocksvb]

v1.8 released to fix null online status for vB 5.6.6 and older.

Thank you. That we haven’t upgraded vB isn’t because “we” don’t want to. It’s purely because doing so is up to the owner of our forum. He, unlike most of us who practically live there, has a real life that includes a real job, a family, and serves in the Army Reserves. I’ll drop a bug in his ear that we really should/need to keep up wil version upgrades.

I hope you should have at least installed the vB 5.6.4 PL1 security patch to fix the security vulnerability for 5.6.4 and older.

Btw, is the new mod v1.8 update working?

[Snowhog]

We are using 5.6.4 Patch Level 1. Haven’t downloaded/installed the update MOD yet. Should get to that later today.

[Snowhog]

Downloaded and installed/updated to v1.8. Works as expected in all locations. Thank you.

[glennrocksvb]

Thanks for confirmation!
