I believe it looks exactly the same as a board without the hack, but it makes it easier to edit te left column since it's in it's own template.

Yes, its something like that.:)

So its just taking the $post info out of the postbit template and putting it in another....

Yeah, its just to make editing it easier and having less code in your postbit.

its useful if you run an RPG board with like a HUGE postbit.

Put your health bars and level in the post bit then the stats in the ID card.

Almost like a second Profile but more RPG stats page like.

Yeah - thats what I made it for, but mainly because I couldnt be bothered looking through my postbit code to find it:p
