I have a question about usernames and themes.

I have a specific theme set up for my RPG forum. As such, the postbits show, instead of the normal character information, the character name of the member, their character avatar and character information. So when you click INTO threads, you see their character name.

My question is, is there a way to have their character name be the name that shows up for EVERYTHING on that theme? So say when you click into a forum, and you see:

Thread Title
MEMBER USERNAME

Then

Last reply, Today, MEMBER USERNAME.

I have tried putting in the fieldX where I think it should logically go to make this change, but to no avail. Is this even possible?

Thank you!

The Last Post By info is cached. You would have to do something to change the info grabbed from the cache there or change the username to make the cache have the new member character name.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
