not what i was looking for....

if you are viewing threads and the member's avatar is on the left and you have some details under the avatar... i am wanting to add fields for details about the member such as:

Name:
Truck Year:
Truck Model:
Engine:
Color:



etc...

OK. But, first you need to add them via the Profile Fields, then you need to add them to the postbit template. For each field, you do something like this:
<vb:if condition="$post['fieldx']"><dt>Truck Year</dt> <dd>{vb:raw post.fieldx}</dd></vb:if>

Lynne,

Please forgive me... I am very much a virgin to this language.

I HAVE added the fields that I want to have. Can you please explain what postbit template is and where exactly do I add these command lines in at?

Thanks
Ben
