I posted a question about this in the 5.x section. It probably makes more sense to post it here.
Is it possible to have different templates display for different members? It would probably be based on a field in the profile.
I'd like to be able to have different header and footer info based on a profile field. The user would need to be logged in to get the special template.
I could use this to have a banner-free version of the forum available to some members.
Another point brought up in that thread was that it could also make it possible for members to choose different design templates.
