I get this error message when I click on a users name next to their posting...


Sorry! This profile doesn't exist anymore.

I also get the message when I click on my own (admin) name.... when I know for sure that each of them does actually exist..

thoughts ?

It could be something specific in your database, or a missing field which the script tries to select. The script will give the similar report even if request failed because of something.

It's possible to determine only analyzing mySQL request more deeply. For that, edit setup_mysql.php, the function db_simpleSelect. There is this commented line:

Remove two slashes in front of it, save and run the profile viewing section again. On top of page, request string should be displayed. You could get some clues from that. Let me know if it helped.

this is what displays

!-- SELECT user_sorttopics,language, num_posts FROM minibbtable_users WHERE user_id='1' -->

The latest select is most likely causing the error in execution.
You must be sure ALL of the fields listed there are present under minibbtable_users.
