Dynamic avatars based on forum being post in

[sapphiremagus]

Hi all,

I'm working on a relatively simple (I think) modification to emulate the functionality over at www.rpol.net.

I'm getting the necessary database tables set up but I am unsure how to handle the dynamic display options.

What I'm trying to do is make some forums act as Play by Post hubs for role playing games. Games are set up as forums under the designated forums. Players have access to the game forums for the games they play. The posts in those forums should display their character data, not the vbulletin member data. I imagine this will require some heavy post bit editing to change the displayed name and avatar to match that of the character info.

Any tips, tricks, or ideas to make this as painless as possible? Thanks
