Bug fixed: Profile fields' titles aren't shown in quick replies, announcements and PMS. 1, 2 and 3.
this is very nice. its not the sort of thing for me, because i apply stuff like myspace id and facebook as images that link to a members profile, however this mod still will have its uses for me
So does this mean almost no stress on the server? Also, if it is creating a fake template on the fly, will this be a problem with say, over 3000 users at once?
Is there a way to show the text from the Multiple-Selection Checkbox? As it is now it only shows the number of the checkbox marked. The only text that it does show now is from the Single-Line Text Box.

My forum has about 50-80 users at once. and everything is OK.
Anyway, after releasing it. I thought it would be better If I use a real template which will be updated once on changing the settings. This is the next version.
Try it and tell me if it has any impact on your forum's performance. If it affects the performance I don't think it would be so much.
Another masterpiece Milad! You are very kind with your releases here. This pulls off a headache of a job with little effort for the admin, and for that I am greatful!
When I have enough money saved for vB custom work, there is one name on my list!
