Hi, i wonder if it's possible to display the name of the moderators of each forum thread below the description text?!
 
Example:

Development thread
Use this forum thread to post development related things
Moderated by: Mattias Nordin, Kalle Kula.

Yes it is -

Step 1: Add... "Dim strModeratorsList" to the declarations at the top of default.asp
 
Step 2: Add this code around line 650. I've made a lot of mods to my default.asp page so I couldn't tell you for sure where it goes. I put it in between " 'Display the number of people viewing in that forum" and " 'Display forum details".
 
 
'Get the List of Group Moderators for the Forum
strModeratorsList = ""
strSQL = "SELECT " & strDbTable & "Author.Author_ID, " & strDbTable & "Author.Username "
strSQL = strSQL & "FROM " & strDbTable & "Permissions, " & strDbTable & "Author "
strSQL = strSQL & "WHERE " & strDbTable & "Author.Author_ID = " & strDbTable & "Permissions.Author_ID AND " & strDbTable & "Permissions.Moderate = " & strDBTrue & " AND " & strDbTable & "Permissions.Forum_ID = " & intForumID & ";"
rsCommon.Open strSQL, adoCon
Do While Not rsCommon.eof
 If strModeratorsList = "" Then
  strModeratorsList = "<br /><span class=""smText"">Moderators:</span> "
 Else
  strModeratorsList = strModeratorsList & ", "
 End If
 strModeratorsList = strModeratorsList & "<a href=""member_profile.asp?PF=" & rsCommon("Author_ID") & """ class=""smLink"">" & rsCommon("Username") & "</a>"
 rsCommon.MoveNext
Loop
rsCommon.Close
 
Step 3: In the Forum Details section (again, roughly around line 675) change this line
 
 
Response.Write("<br />" & strForumDiscription & strSubForums & "</td>" & _
 
to be this:
 
 
Response.Write("<br />" & strForumDiscription & strSubForums & strModeratorsList & "</td>" & _
 
...and the coding is done.
 
Step 4: Login to the admin tool and manually set user permissions for each moderator you want to set up for each section. Even though they have permissions by their group, this tool looks for their individual member permissions for reference. Click member permissions, search for your user, check off "Forum Moderator", check off your affected forums, and you are good to go.
 
...and that'll do it!
