It seems when a post (of a registered user; still under spam control) is in moderation, in the forum overview the last post is displayed as "By Anonymous, 50 years ago". Is this intended behavior?

hi !
I do have the exact same behavior for anon users. Which doesn't really bother me since the comment is not yet moderated.
However, when the comment is accepted, the anon user is displayed as registered. Obviously if the user is anon he is not registered... Is there a way to fix this ?
Thanks !
Eric
Please follow the suggestion provided in this support topic: https://gvectors.com/forum/general-questions/anonymous-topic/#post-21392
This solution was not for the same bug as i described it.
In fact i found that it is more a translation bug. The french word for joined is leading to believe the user is registered while he is not. This was inconsistant with the Anonyme label. Thus i simply disabled the Anonyme label for non-reg users.
The 50 years old bug in my case in only visible for the admin so it doesn't really matter.
Maybe it's related to the bugfix (one or two versions ago) to show the latest reply instead of the first post for a forum in the forum overview?
It seems there is a database issue. If wpForo can't show users data and dates then you have a problem with database data. Probably you've made some incorrect manipulation with users data. This needs to be investigating in the database. If you have a backup file, just restore it, then delete all caches and check again. The issue should be solved.
thanks for the reply. However, I did not manipulate the database myself in any way other then using the wpforo GUI.
The situation is that once I approve the post, the user and post data are shown correctly (so the user data does not seem corrupted..). It really looks like the query that returns the latest reply does not take unapproved post into account, but of course it could be something else...).
And as for restoring a database backup. If it's a database corruption issue, I could not decide what backup to put back since I don't know at what date the data got corrupted (I didn't change anything to the database myself and the issue only happens in specific situations).
So it doesn't look like a database issue. When I tried to google the issue ("wpforo anonymous 50 years") I found multiple other wpforo forums that look like they have the same issue.
Please advice on how to proceed.
Thanks!
If this is not specific to your site, then it would be nice if you tell us what kind of php you use, what kind of mysql you use and anything non-standard you may have.
Also are you error free ? I mean is your debug.log emty ?
Also searching for what you say on google, i found only 4-5 sites.
Thanks, yeah it doesn't seem to be a very common issue. I attached the version details of the server I use. I do use some plugins, but none are very special. As for the error-log, unfortunately, nothing is reported in there.
@herwin Could the mysql version be a problem ?
Because i read here
https://wpforo.com/docs/root/wpforo-installation/server-requirements/
about mysql 5.6 or later. @robert could comment on this.
TBH, I would be surprised if this is an mySql version issue. It looks like its just a query that doesn't return the correct data. Looking at the 5.6 release notes, I cannot see any change that would explain the behavior. But I don't know the details of your software. @robert do you have an idea what may be causing this? thank!
