    incorrect avatar (image.php) & member page (member.php) for user #1 after DB modification

    For compatibility with another piece of software, it was necessary that a current admin be made userid 1 in vBulletin - which was all (apparently) neatly accomplished by updating userid & username in the database.

    Everything else appears to be working, but in forum entries vbseo still rewrites the avatar URL and links to profile pages (image.php?u=1 & member.php?u=1) using the username of the former userid 1 instead of the username of the current userid 1.

    Where can I correct this?

    Thanks.

    Thank you for that suggestion, but unfortunately it did not resolve the problem.

    A bit more info that might help: vBulletin shows the correct new username and also adjusts the image height & width of the avatar to the values for the correct new image, but vbseo rewrites the URLs using the incorrect old username.

    and one more clue...
    the problem only seems to occur on posts created before the DB change, not after

    it's definitely in some way dynamic, b/c the member number is (and, therefore, the URLs are) correct when vbseo is turned off

    Got it solved! I discovered that the problem wasn't occurring on all threads, which led me to discover the vb_thread table was corrupt. Repaired it and all is fine and dandy.

    Thanks again.
