Yeah, thanks; that's what it looks like to me too. I simply added "email" to the query in the "verify_authentication" function in "functions_login.php" and it loads $vbulletin->userinfo['email'] just fine.

It'd be swell if 'email' was in that query anyway. I'd sure prefer not to modify the base code but, as you say, better that then to do a whole new extra query.

Thanks again for your replies. I'm still hoping that someone else may know another place where the value has been loaded but suspect that this is "the way".
