Have you recently upgraded your forum? It may be neccesary to reapply all template edits after an upgrade.

Usually for banned members the avatar + signature is gone...

nice idea but I usually delete all thereads and post by the banned users.

You are thinking of deleted users. They will of course not be handled since they have no avatar. But banned or temporary banned users have avatars. This mod is for those users.

I've got a shiny new nickel with your name on it if you make this work for 3.7.

It will be done right after release. :)

The default banned user group is 8 (if I am not mistaken) on vb 3.6.8, and I put 8 into the code (and followed it (instructions) and doesn't work)

I'm looking into adding something similar to troll and a semi-banned categories as well. I tried modifying the code around to see if it'd work with both, but all I got was the avatar to show up three seperate times. Any idea on what tweaks to the codes here will work for that?

Postbit:
Change "9" to your usergroup ID for the banned avatar.

Stupid Monkey.

Have you temporary banned a user for a time period and then chosen the "banned users" group as a gruop to place the user in during the temporary ban? You must do that.
