Can you replace the text that shows up in areas such as posted by: username, to use the users email address or another field from the db. If so where can I change this.

Thank you

Dear jayham,

Yes, In the InstantASP.InstantForum\InstantASP.InstantForum.UI\Controls\ViewTopics.vb

around line 825 we have :

If tLastPosterUserID > 0 Then
                        hypLastPostBy.TextNonLocalized = InstantASP.Common.Text.Helpers.Truncate( _
                        Topic.LastPosterUsername, MyBase.CurrentContext.CurrentForumSettings.UsernameTruncation)
                        hypLastPostBy.NavigateUrl = MyBase.CurrentContext.InstallURL + _
                        InstantASP.InstantForum.Globals.Paths.UserProfile(tLastPosterUserID)
                        hypLastPostBy.ToolTip = "ViewTopics_LastPostByToolTip"
                    Else
                        hypLastPostBy.TextNonLocalized = InstantASP.Common.Text.Helpers.Truncate( _
                        MyBase.CurrentContext.CurrentSharedSettings.AnonymousUsername, MyBase.CurrentContext.CurrentForumSettings.UsernameTruncation)
                    End If

You would need to modify this to:

If tLastPosterUserID > 0 Then
Dim lastposteruser As New User(Topic.LastPosterUserID)

                        hypLastPostBy.TextNonLocalized = InstantASP.Common.Text.Helpers.Truncate( _
                        lastposteruser.EmailAddress, MyBase.CurrentContext.CurrentForumSettings.UsernameTruncation)
                        hypLastPostBy.NavigateUrl = MyBase.CurrentContext.InstallURL + _
                        InstantASP.InstantForum.Globals.Paths.UserProfile(tLastPosterUserID)
                        hypLastPostBy.ToolTip = "ViewTopics_LastPostByToolTip"
                    Else
                        hypLastPostBy.TextNonLocalized = InstantASP.Common.Text.Helpers.Truncate( _
                        MyBase.CurrentContext.CurrentSharedSettings.AnonymousUsername, MyBase.CurrentContext.CurrentForumSettings.UsernameTruncation)
                    End If

You will also need to recompile your solution.
