[3.3.x] Support Forum • Re: Odd little bug

The board is getting the same issue as before but for registered users now, that means they have similar settings problem as it was earlier for anonymous user.

Instead of iterating over all users to fix that setting, you can try to do it via SQL query like (but backup the phpbb_users table before, just in case):

Code:

UPDATE phpbb_users SET user_topic_sortby_type = 't' WHERE user_topic_sortby_type = 'b';

Yes, but only regarding the new forum section.

I'm sorry, you're going over my head now. I don't know how to implement an SQL query.

My latest attempt has been to create a new test forum with different Sort Topics settings from the default ('User Default' and 'Descending') to 'Post Time' and 'Descending', a move inspired by your prior fix. It's down toward the bottom of the forum, and users aren't finding it easily. I have had only one user so far who had gotten the SQL error find it, and he does have access to this new test forum, so possibly a good sign.
