Hi Lynne

Well, upto version 3.7.2 it has worked absolutely fine. We have a live forum running version 3.7.2 and that works absolutely fine with the variables. It is only in upgrading this test system that the variables suddenly don't work and the information from the updated phrases suggested that it was changed in 3.8.1 but no suggestion as to what to change or how.

Also, can you explain the modification process a little more. i am fairly new to vbulletin and there have been a series of people adapting the forums over the years, some of whom are no longer with the company, so tracing their changes isn't so simple.
