usergroup data

[diades]

Hi

Apologies if this is already ansered somewhere but I can't find it anyway

Is the usergroup of the user available to the new reply template? If so, how? If not, how can I make it so?

Thanks.

Try with $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]

Hi Marco

Thanks for that, it did the trick!

As an addendum, would anyone know if it is possible to get the username of the thread starter on the newreply template (or page)?

You can use the information out of the $threadinfo array. In your case:
- $threadinfo[postusername]
- $threadinfo[postuserid]

Hi Marco

Again, many thanks! I have now completed my edit and have lazy-man's greeting buttons installed:
