Removing reputation_*.gif in postbit?

[slobra]

Hey everyone, I don't want the reputation images to show up in the postbit. But, when I remove this code from the postbit_reputation template...

<img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_reputation]/reputation_$posneg.gif" alt="$post[username] $post[level]" border="0" />


...the reputation system breaks. So, since I don't want an image to show I put this back...

<img class="inlineimg" border="0" />


...and the reputation functions correctly. Only problem is, Firefox doesn't care that there's no "src" specified but IE displays the missing image placeholders. I was going to put a transparent image in place of no image but then there is an ugly space in my postbit. How can I remove these images from the reputation system completely and still have it function correctly? Thanks! :D

@Konstantinos
With the link?

What he said ^^^, with the link, just don't want the red/green dots involved. Internet Explorer gets angry if I remove the src from the img tag and the vBulletin gets angry if I remove the whole img tag. So I'm not sure what to do.

Maybe you can try this?

<div style:visibility="hidden">
<img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_reputation]/reputation_$posneg.gif" alt="$post[username] $post[level]" border="0" />
</div>

If you want to remove the green red bars then remove this from postbit

<if condition="$show['reputation']"><if condition="$show['reppower']">$vbphrase[reppower]: <span id="reppower_$post[postid]_$post[userid]">$post[reppower]</span> </if><div><span id="repdisplay_$post[postid]_$post[userid]">$post[reputationdisplay]</span></div></if>
