Jon,

It would be nice, in my opinion, to have a custom profile field dealing with which version of Access a person has. In the Admin panel you go to:

User Custom Fields
Select Multiple-Selection Checkbox


You can define the options here then head into the templates, find the Postbit Templates option, then the Postbit template.

Here, find:

<if condition="$post['joindate']"><div>$vbphrase[join_date]: $post[joindate]</div></if>

Then, paste after:

<if condition="$post['field5']"><div>Using Access: $post[field5]</div></if>

Where field5 is the custom field number. Actually, it could be inserted after the post count with a <br /> to separate it, too. Might be better.

This will have the benefit of listing next to a person's posts and join date what version(s) of Access they are using. It helps to solve problems since not everyone is explicit enough when describing their problem.
