You probably already knew this or had other things that take priority, but apparently themes can be cached under './cache/themes/' in MyBB, so it's possible that clearing that out would make themes work.

Yeah, but the plugin didn't work, though removing all the plugin files didn't remove it. And it won't go away! Still hammering on this, arrgh.

I'm assuming you've tried this already, but did you make sure that any cache files that might have the "NUMTHANKEDLIKED" string in them were cleared/removed?

This also might fix some of your theming problems, potentially.

If this is a Unix/Linux server you can probably search for the "NUMTHANKEDLIKED" string under the server's forum directories using grep to get an idea of what's making the string stick around.
I don't know how it's stored, though, so you should probably make sure it's running under a very "nice" process (basically, so it doesn't hog I/O and CPU cycles).

Running something like this under the forum directory should be enough to do a search without compromising on throughput/functionality (basically by telling it to pause the search whenever any other process needs to run, and to only search during idle periods).

Assuming you're currently in the myBB directory on the server in a shell, this is correct for a recursive search; if you want to provide a path to search replace the '.' at the end with your path. It'll print out all file names with matching text inside. Of course, this depends on the strings not being compressed.

Code:

ionice -c idle nice -n 19 grep -l -r TYL_NUMTHANKEDLIKED .

Usual disclaimer: this is theoretical; I have no idea how your setup is and if you don't know what this is doing you probably shouldn't run it on a production server. I am certain it won't cause permanent harm to the system or corrupt any data, but I don't want to inadvertently DoS anything because of some process running on the machine hogging time.

I run a (very small-time) linux server of my own and use Unix systems pretty much exclusively at home. That's my only credential for this stuff, though.
