Replace the query with the following:
// Print the categories and forums $result = $db->query('SELECT c.id AS cid, c.cat_name, f.id AS fid, f.forum_name, f.forum_desc, f.redirect_url, f.moderators, f.num_topics, f.num_posts, f.last_post_id, f.last_poster, t.subject FROM '.$db->prefix.'categories AS c INNER JOIN '.$db->prefix.'forums AS f ON c.id=f.cat_id INNER JOIN topics AS t ON f.last_post_id=t.last_post_id LEFT JOIN '.$db->prefix.'forum_perms AS fp ON (fp.forum_id=f.id AND fp.group_id='.$pun_user['g_id'].') WHERE fp.read_forum IS NULL OR fp.read_forum=1 ORDER BY c.disp_position, c.id, f.disp_position', true) or error('Unable to fetch category/forum list', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());
Replace the $last_post conditional with the following:
// If there is a last_post/last_poster. if ($cur_forum['last_post_id'] != '' && $pun_config['o_censoring'] == '1') $last_post = '<a href="viewtopic.php?pid='.$cur_forum['last_post_id'].'#p'.$cur_forum['last_post_id'].'">'.censor_words(pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_forum['subject'])).'</a> <span class="byuser">'.$lang_common['by'].' '.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_forum['last_poster']).'</span>'; elseif ($cur_forum['last_post_id'] != '' && $pun_config['o_censoring'] == '0') $last_post = '<a href="viewtopic.php?pid='.$cur_forum['last_post_id'].'#p'.$cur_forum['last_post_id'].'">'.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_forum['subject']).'</a> <span class="byuser">'.$lang_common['by'].' '.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_forum['last_poster']).'</span>'; else $last_post = ' ';
Edit: I just realized that I forgot to add code to clip overly long topic subjects. I will do so soon.
Same Error:
Error: Unable to fetch category/forum list.
