Question about vBulletin

Hey gang

I'm charged with setting up a vBulletin technical help board for my school. I want to customize the posting stuff so that when one posts, it includes the lab they're in and the computer they're on. Now, I modified the posting template to include the appropriate form fields for this information, but I have no idea how to capture the data from the form fields and put it into the thread title (i.e. "301: Osiris: Help!" is what I want to get it to ultimately say). Does anyone know in which PHP (or template) file I can find the variable to edit that will set things the way I want them? I don't want separate database entries for the lab # and machine name; I just want it to concatenate into one thread name. Any ideas?

Thanks

I would suggest contacting Kier on SB, since he's one (or the?) lead developer on that system. Also, hit up their official forums, they might have some good information for you.

Yeah, I posted in the LightWave Group (of which Kier is a member, I believe). I would've posted in their official forums, but my boss has the registration information, so I can't officially log-into their support forums until I get it from her, and she left before I realized I needed it today. Hopefully I'll get it from her tomorrow so I can do just this, but I was hoping someone might have a solution for me before then.
