You need to edit the postbit template to add that variable wherever you want it.

Use something like this:

Zipcode: $post[fieldX]<br />

replace the green X with the profilefieldid.

i can't find where in "postbit" to do that...

i found here:

PHP Code:

<div class="smallfont">
                    <if condition="$post['joindate']"><div>$vbphrase[join_date]: $post[joindate]</div></if>
                    <if condition="$post['field2']"><div>$vbphrase[location_perm]: $post[field2]</div></if>
                    <if condition="$post['age']"><div>$vbphrase[age]: $post[age]</div></if>
                    <div>
                        $vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]
                    </div> 


so i must have to do something more complicated.. right?

                    </div>

Basically, just put it where you want it to display in the postbit template

some members never filled that required field out, because the board used to be a phpbb board and it wasn't required there...

so i created this:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$post['field5']['field6']"><div>Name: $post[field5] $post[field6]</div></if> 


just by looking at location's code and changing it to work for my 'first' and 'last' name fields (first = 5, last =6)...

thanks guys...

live example - thread poster has his field filled out... first reply does not...
