Updating Author in the Forum Topic listing

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Hi,

I noticed that if I update a Users name all their posts pick up the new name. This doesn't automatically flow through to the 'Author' or 'Last Message' on the Topics list.

Is there any way to do this? Will it happen over time? Would I need to do it direct against the db?

Cheers,

Ben

I could imagine that you may have to do it directly in the db ... or possibly change the source code ... so that... when updating the username you call some additional sql statement that will update the tables holding the "last post by .. "enties ...

That's because the topics are in the cache. If you restart the cache (Admin Panel -> Cache -> topics) you'll see the new data.
