From: tim@yingtong.co.uk Date: Fri, 18 Apr 2014 00:36:37 +0100 ref identity I really mean at present most of the traffic is on the mailing list (and the forum is more of an archive for 80% of the joint community) where users complain they can’t easily identify forum posters as people (its a friendly bunch) as I’ve set it to post to the list as the single subscribed list address. They/I would like to see the forum users name/email address somewhere inside the body text so they can say “Hi Peter, good to hear from you, I think I can answer this one…” I’ve searched within FUDforum for documentation of how to format posts to include posters names etc. to no avail.
This seems to work. Go to forum/theme/default/post.php and find the line:
if (!empty($r[3])) { // Use the forum's fixed "From:" address.
After it add words to the following effect:
$body .= "\n-- \nThis message was sent via the web forum by $from";
You should get a footer along the lines of:
This message was sent via the web forum by Name <email address>
Which will be followed by the Mailman footer.
In reality for membership intergration between the two I suspect I wouldn’t be first in the queue currently as I have several hundred subscribers both places, with significant overlap between them!

If I manage to solve this how about I mention it here but post the detail on the FUDforum website?
Best wishes
