I got an inexplicable PM from Reg. What's that all about then? EG?

I'm testing the PM Sent folder problem, and needed a blank one, hence the birth of Reg who. as the name suggests is a mere REGistered user rather than anything more grand.

Hmm, well, a new user with a balnk Sent folder is able to open said folder after creating PMs.

Both MLCM and I, er, sorry, EG, get a SQL error when we click on our Sent folders in PM.

So... seems to be narrowed down to existing users.


The SQL mentioned in the code is:

SELECT uid, username, usergroup, displaygroup FROM mybb_users WHERE uid IN (34,1650,Mid Life Crisis Man,glaconman,anlu247,Seafront Plodder,Sweder,Bierzo Baggie,Moyleman)

It's no surprise it's falling over here, as some of the criteria are numerical IDs, and some names, which doesn't seem right. When I put the names in quotes, it runs successfully, although it only returns the people with the numerical IDs - not surprisingly, as it's only looking for the UID.

Anyway, first of all, I can try to track down where the SQL is being run from, and manually change it. If i can't, perhaps I can delete all the historical PM records from the database -- if people have no objections.....?
