Umm... i somehow misunderstood the question... 
Now to your request:
Open topic.asp in your favourite text editor, then...
Find the following code (approx. line 97) and add the green code:
strSql = "SELECT M.M_NAME, M.M_RECEIVE_EMAIL, M.M_AIM, M.M_ICQ, M.M_MSN, M.M_YAHOO" & _
", M.M_TITLE, M.M_HOMEPAGE, M.MEMBER_ID, M.M_LEVEL, M.M_POSTS, M.M_COUNTRY, M.M_NDOWNLOADS" & _
then find the following code (approx. line 130) and add the green code:
Member_Posts = rsTopic("M_POSTS")
Member_Country = rsTopic("M_COUNTRY")
Member_Downloads = rsTopic("M_NDOWNLOADS")
Topic_Date = rsTopic("T_DATE")
Topic_Subject = rsTopic("T_SUBJECT")
now find the following code (approx. line 309) and add the green code:
strSql = "SELECT M.M_NAME, M.M_RECEIVE_EMAIL, M.M_AIM, M.M_ICQ, M.M_MSN, M.M_YAHOO"
strSql = strSql & ", M.M_TITLE, M.MEMBER_ID, M.M_HOMEPAGE, M.M_LEVEL, M.M_POSTS, M.M_COUNTRY, M.M_NDOWNLOADS"
strSql = strSql & ", R.REPLY_ID, R.FORUM_ID, R.R_AUTHOR, R.TOPIC_ID, R.R_MESSAGE, R.R_LAST_EDIT"
strSql = strSql & ", R.R_LAST_EDITBY, R.R_SIG, R.R_STATUS, R.R_DATE"
then find the following code (approx. line 511):
rM_NAME = 0
rM_RECEIVE_EMAIL = 1
rM_AIM = 2
rM_ICQ = 3
rM_MSN = 4
rM_YAHOO = 5
rM_TITLE = 6
rMEMBER_ID = 7
rM_HOMEPAGE = 8
rM_LEVEL = 9
rM_POSTS = 10
rM_COUNTRY = 11
rREPLY_ID = 12
rFORUM_ID = 13
rR_AUTHOR = 14
rTOPIC_ID = 15
rR_MESSAGE = 16
rR_LAST_EDIT = 17
rR_LAST_EDITBY = 18
rR_SIG = 19
rR_STATUS = 20
rR_DATE = 21
if CanShowSignature = 1 then
rM_SIG = 22
end if
and replace it with the following code:
rM_NAME = 0
rM_RECEIVE_EMAIL = 1
rM_AIM = 2
rM_ICQ = 3
rM_MSN = 4
rM_YAHOO = 5
rM_TITLE = 6
rMEMBER_ID = 7
rM_HOMEPAGE = 8
rM_LEVEL = 9
rM_POSTS = 10
rM_COUNTRY = 11
rM_DOWNLOADS =12
rREPLY_ID = 13
rFORUM_ID = 14
rR_AUTHOR = 15
rTOPIC_ID = 16
rR_MESSAGE = 17
rR_LAST_EDIT = 18
rR_LAST_EDITBY = 19
rR_SIG = 20
rR_STATUS = 21
rR_DATE = 22
if CanShowSignature = 1 then
rM_SIG = 23
end if
then find the following code (approx. line 550) and add the green code:
Reply_MemberPosts = arrReplyData(rM_POSTS, iForum)
Reply_MemberCountry = arrReplyData(rM_COUNTRY, iForum)
Reply_MemberDownloads = arrReplyData(rM_DOWNLOADS, iForum)
Reply_ReplyID = arrReplyData(rREPLY_ID, iForum)
Reply_ForumID = arrReplyData(rFORUM_ID, iForum)
now find the following code (approx. line 590) and add the green code:
Response.Write " <font color=""" & strForumFontColor & """ face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """><small>" & Reply_MemberPosts & " Posts</small></font></p>" & vbNewLine & _
" <font color=""" & strForumFontColor & """ face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """><small>" & Reply_MemberDownloads & " Downloads</small></font></p></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td bgcolor=""" & CColor & """ height=""100%"" width=""" & strTopicWidthRight & """"
Finally find the following code (approx. line 796) and add the green code:
Response.Write " <font color=""" & strForumFontColor & """ face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """><small>" & Member_Posts & " Posts</small></font></p>" & vbNewLine & _
" <font color=""" & strForumFontColor & """ face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """><small>" & Member_Downloads & " Downloads</small></font></p>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td bgcolor=""" & strForumFirstCellColor & """ width=""" & strTopicWidthRight & """"
This should do it.
