Custom Fields in Mass email
 

How do I include a custom field in a mass email. I have custom fields for first name and last name.

I want to be able to send out mass email with something like:

Hello $field5

in place of

Hello $username

How and what would need to be modified to do this? Thanks!

This doesn't look good. Several months and no responses, should I assume that this can't be done?

I also have a forum that I'm converting to vBulletin. It is a small professional forum and everyone is required to use their real names in signatures, etc. So I was really hoping there would be a way to address them by their first names in mass emails.

Thanks,

Andrew

I've been spending most of the last couple days browsing this site and adding mods to my new vBulletin forum, and I must say that there are some really brilliant people doing some really cool stuff around here.

I honestly cannot believe that not one person has been able to figure out how to put a member's first name into an email. I know that many forums thrive on anonymity and funky usernames, but for more professional communities that prefer to use real names, personalized communications can be a very important marketing tool. I can't believe that no one else can see the importance of this.
