My Temp myBB.com account got merged with my main myBB.com account (this one).

Yet on the Index Page, it shows imtiax_temp (the other acc)

But if you go to the thread, it shows imtiax http://community.mybb.com/thread-131738-...#pid954197

Small bug, Not really a big deal, but maybe make the Merge tool update the lastposter column in the mybb_threads table

mysql_query("UPDATE mybb_threads SET lastposter=$MergedIntoUserName WHERE lastposter=$OldUserName");

Wrong Syntax but you get the idea.
Appears to have been miraculously fixed due to forum activity.
MyBB database data handling needs improvement. There is some data that is not properly updated or deleted upon some actions.
This is indeed a bug, we'll make sure it gets fixed.
I have added it to the Dev Panel http://dev.mybb.com/issues/2141

Yeah but it's still a bug. "miraculously fixed due to forum activity." isn't a solution. Still needs to be fixed.
I don't think Leefish meant it that way.
No I did not mean it was a solution - but it is true that in the general course of things it resets itself - and therefore is not so immediately noticeable.

Is it a bug? Yes. Is it a priority? In my opinion, no.
