Hello, we just installed SMF 2 (new install, new forum).  When the Post Reply button is selected from the bottom of the page, the reply posts as a nested message within the previous post.  If the Post Reply button is selected from the top of the page, the post appears normal.  Why is this?  How do we correct this?

This is a bug in 2.0 RC2 concerning custom profile fields and if you have one set to be around the signature area. Only workaround for now is to move it, I believe.

Here is a screen shot where you can see where the nested posts appear.  This only happen when the Post Reply button on the bottom of the page is clicked.  The replies appear normal only when the Post Reply on the top of the page is clicked.

Your point is?  We don't have any custom fields in or around the signature area that I know of.  At least none that we created.  How do I verify that there are no custom profile fields that may already have been pre-defined with the software?

I think I figured it out.  The 'enable custom profile fields' was selected by default.  I de-selected that and that solved the issue.

Another issue.  This nesting problem still exists when quoting a post.  What is the solution?

The custom profile field bug has been fixed in svn and is caused by this code in Display.template.php:

// Are there any custom profile fields for above the signature?
if (!empty($message['member']['custom_fields']))
{
$shown = false;
foreach ($message['member']['custom_fields'] as $custom)
{
if ($custom['placement'] != 2 || empty($custom['value']))
continue;
if (empty($shown))
{
$shown = true;
echo '
<div class="custom_fields_above_signature">
<ul class="reset nolist>';


The last line should be:

<ul class="reset nolist">';
