I am looking to replace a deleted member's reply name from 'n/a' to 'Former Member' in the search.asp listing
The Code which displays the author is: lines 545-548
if IsNull(Topic_LastPostAuthor) then strLastAuthor = ""
else
strLastAuthor = "<br />by: <span class=""spnMessageText"">" & profileLink(Topic_LastPostAuthorName,Topic_LastPostAuthor) & "</span>"
I have utilised this if statement within topic.asp
if Reply_MemberName = "n/a" then
Response.Write " <p><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """ color=""" & strSiteBGColor & """><b><span class=""spnMessageText"">Former Member</span></b></font><br />" & vbNewLine
else
Response.Write " <p><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """><b><span class=""spnMessageText"">" & profileLink(ChkString(Reply_MemberName,"display"),Reply_Author) & "</span></b></font><br />" & vbNewLine
end if
I can not get the if statement slotted into the search.asp to do the same text replacement
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I usually don't delete a member with topics or replies. One of admins today deleted a member and that is why I was wondering.
So, what I did for now was to comment out the portion of the code that shows the delete icon in members.asp.

Using the icon raises no issues, because the member is not deleted from the DB. Some data is removed and his name is changed to 'n/a', but there is a database record to be retrieved, so no data loss occurs.
The problems occur if you delete a member directly in the database, or using mod setup, for example.< |

The posts are retrieved with an INNER JOIN. If there is no author member, the posts will not be retrieved! It's that simple!< |

Mostly you lose the context for the post. If you have a topic with two deleted members contributing, how do you know who said what and if there were 1, 2, or 3 people talking?
Really it comes down to why are you deleting the member? If you don't want them around then lock them. If they are not around just let it be. You're not going to get a significant percentage of your space back by deleting them.< |

What kind of issues one should expect when deleting a member with replies? I have seen somewhere this is not recommended, but there was no further explanation as to what happens.

May be you need to remove that end if. I think no extra if statement is added to the original code.
I will try removing and if it doesn't work add one more end if LOL. Who knows!< |

Thank you texanman
I did try that and receive the following error message:
Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0400'
Expected statement
/forumtest/search_mod.asp, line 797
end if
^
Working with your suggestion and mine above I came up with the following:
if IsNull(Topic_LastPostAuthor) then
strLastAuthor = ""
end if
if Topic_LastPostAuthorName = "n/a" then
strLastAuthor = "<br />by: Former Member" & vbNewLine
else
strLastAuthor = "<br />by: <span class=""spnMessageText"">" & profileLink(Topic_LastPostAuthorName,Topic_LastPostAuthor) & "</span>" & vbNewLine
I initially did not get any change, and kept changing the str in red and hey presto we have a fix!
Thank you all
