J/w. Is there a mod out there for vB 3.5.1 that will allow a user to determine if he/she wants people besides admins or mods to see his/her post count? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can do this easily yourself, although it seems pretty useless to me...

Create a custom profile field, preferably a checkbox and put it in the privacy options (just for relevance). Then note the name of that field (eg field5).
Then in the posbit template find the $vbphrase[posts]: $somevariable (I can't remember the name of the variable and I'm not even sure what the name of the phrase is but you should find it easily ;) )
Then add above it <if condition="$post[field5]"> (where field5 should be the name of your custom field) and after it </if>
You can do something similar for the MEMBERINFO template as well, in order to hide it from the profile too.
Voila!

Hahaha. Thanks man. I'm not used to using php in vB's templates just yet (don't even know what it's called). Thanks.
