Are there any mods/fixes for the following, keeping in mind I am using VB 3.8.7

- Avatar/Post system; Avatar changes after specific post count, similar to the promotion system but with avatars

- Adding a custom field, I know this exists but I couldn't find a mod

- Changing the color of information that appear in the left (legacy mode), I want to make like just the information colored like this

Post count: 90
Join date: Jan 20th 2012
Email: Email@hotmail.com

So effectively color of data changes to that

I vaguely recall an avatar mod that used the/a ranking system. Try a Titles Only search of just the word "avatar" for 3.8 mods. Unless I'm crazy and remembering something else, it should turn up there.

By adding a custom field, do you mean outside of vB's inherent ability to do this? Or are you looking to add custom fields' output to a particular part of the forum?

In the postbit_legacy template, you can find all the blocks of code for each of those fields. You can color them by adding style="color:name" to the strong tags. Ex: $post[postcount] is, well, Post Count.

<if condition="$show['postcount']">#<a href="showpost.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$post[postid]&amp;postcount=$post[postcount]" target="new" rel="nofollow" id="postcount$post[postid]" name="$post[postcount]"><strong style="color:red">$post[postcount]</strong></a></if>
<if condition="$show['inlinemod']">

You can use the color name, or the color code number. Ex: color:#FFFFFF would make the text white.

Oh my god thank you very much man! As for #2, I mean't like adding a field for example like on here, design: designhere (inputted via control panel or registration)

also might you have a solution for this?
- Making a form which when submitted, makes a thread in a specific section with information filled

Yup, vB does that be default. Their called User Profile Fields in your Admin CP. But if you want them to show up in certain places, then you need specific instructions depending on the place you want it to show up.

You're probably looking for something like "Easy Forms" for vB3. Use quotes when looking for that one, also Titles Only and you should be able to find the vB3 version.
