I added a custom profile field for "Full Name" and now I would like for that to be displayed on showthread.php somewhere under a user's avatar, just like on this forum, how do I do it? Thanks!!!

[[edit]] - I would also like for the new "Full Name" to be displayed on the Member List. Help!! Thank you :)

Goto the Profile Manage section of the Admin CP and find the FIELD # .. then goto the Styles list and click <<>> for the style you would like to add this to. Then goto Show Postbit Templates. Then click the top template 'Postbit'. then search for 'avatar' and click find.. it should direct you to where the avatar and user name are printed out. to add your new field type in .. $post[field#] .. but be sure to replace '#' with the accuall field #.

That will just output the contents of the feild.. you can use reg. text to make a label like 'Full Name: '

Ahhhhhhhh I was getting so frustrated with it not working, then realized I'd only edited postbit, and I'm using legacy!!!!!! So I put the $post[field5] code in postbit legacy template and now it's working!

THANK YOU!!
