Working on implementing a FUDForum. I have turned off the use of aliases, however, looking through the code in FUDforum2/theme/default/ it seems like some of the default views still look to my "alias" field in fud26_users. Can anyone point to me why it wouldn't? (I would like to be able to delete the alias table if possible, or at least leave all the aliases blank.)

If aliases are not used, the alias field is simply used to store the HTML encoded version of the login name so that the forum does not need to do this encoding in realtime.

just so it doesn't clutter my database. I mean, if its not being used, why have it there?

It's SUPPOSED to be there... that's the thing, it's always used a caching field for the login value to ensure that it does not need to be htmlencoded every time...

hmmm
See, I'm busy trying to mod this thing quite a bit =P
Aliases could stay, doesn't seem overly bad, but at the same time, I'm trying to get it to read emails from a different table altogether, as well as names. Just so I don't need to have 2 tables with the same info...
