First add at the beginning:

Code: [Select]

global $context;
and in place where should be username:

Code: [Select]

', $context['user']['name'], '

Thank you.
Now to figure out what causes this:

Code: [Select]

Database Error
Table 'andreblu_melon.smf_sessions' doesn't exist
File: /xxx/xxx/public_html/melon/forum/Sources/Load.php
Line: 2467
Could it be due to me connecting to a database from within the page itself?
