I mean no offense by this, so please don't take it that way, but this reply doesn't answer the poster's question. I have the same question -- where's the list, please -- and I'm guessing that his reason for asking for it is as valid as mine. Maybe it's even the same as mine.

My reason is this: I've been looking for the names of many different variables for vB and have been repeatedly unable to find them by simply looking for, as you say, "what conditionals [or vB system variables] can be used to do a certain thing as and when you need them."

For example: you search for "list of forums" anywhere. Here, Google, the vB manual, anywhere. You won't get an answer unless you already know it. Useless and frustrating.

So, it would be helpful to have a list of all variables, conditionals and callable functions. It would be helpful to get a feeling for what the Jelsoft folks call stuff. That could be a hint on where to find things or for, as you say, "asking what [does] a certain thing".

While your suggestion is useful for some things, it would be really swell if we could also get the answer to the question and then go with the suggestion. Thanks very much.
