As I said, it's stored in bitwise format :rolleyes: So doing that wouldn't work anyways.

why wouldnt $post[fieldX] work?

I believe you can use $userinfo; but since it's in the postbit you can probaly use $post; however, I cannot test it.

-----------------------------------
Not all custom profile fields work the same way (very confusing). In this case, it's saving the selected data in numerical values. It's much easier this way.

let's say you have 5 choices (mulitple selections)...
boy = 1
girl = 2
not sure = 4
again, not sure = 8

since, this is mulitple selection you may choose more than one; so, if you select boy/girl your value will now be a 3 and the numbers will change according to the selections you chooose. If you look closely you will see that there is a large combination of possibilities.

Now, to display the correct data for boy/girl (3) onto any page ... you will use a conditional such as

Code:

<if condition="$userinfo[field15]==3">$vbphrase[boy]$vbphrase[girl]</if>

If you select boy/not sure the data saved would be a 5

Code:

<if condition="$userinfo[field15]==5">$vbphrase[boy]$vbphrase[not_sure]</if>

If the member selects all choices the data saved would be a 15

i cant stress enuf to you guys that this will only show YOUR info

$bbuserinfo is a global that will display the current USERS info, not user for that post

sorry, should be $userinfo ... that's what I get for cutting and pasting

Because you have to decode the field first.

this is what i used.... and it works.

Code:

 <b>Sex:</b>

<if condition="$userinfo[field10]==0">maybe</if> 

<if condition="$userinfo[field10]==1">boy</if>

<if condition="$userinfo[field10]==2">girl</if>

<if condition="$userinfo[field10]==3">yes, please.</if>
