how to make it display in showthread.php? thanks

pipi, it depends on the field number but here's how you'd do it.

In the "postbit" template, just place this where you want it:

$post[fieldX]

where X is the number of the field

I cannot follow those .txt attachments, so in a desperate need of these, I just copied the Gender Hack...only modified it and the upgrade.php file to create the appropriate tables. It worked fine for the Gender Hack, the modified Gender Hack, and I used it a third time for a third drop down. It probably takes long than this, but...eh...it works. I'm just an idiot and find the most complicated route to things...

:p

Hey guys can I get a working demo plz......

That's a database limit. Custom user fields are stored as type char(250).

This means the field can literally hold 250 characters and no more.
Even if you try to set it higher, it won't work, because the database is limited to 250.

It's not a VB inherent thing.
If you MUST have more space, you'll have to add a new table to the DB manually and set the type to mediumtext or something.

I can write out better instructions if you tell me exactly what you need. What I did was write out a general form for all possibilities. How many fields do you want? How many of those are required if any?
