Hmm to tell you the truth, i never even looked at the link myself :(

I will have a look and maybe see if i can post something better.

You say EDIT TEMPLATE MODIFY PROFILE and then soem
================================================== ======
[FIND]-->
$customfields[required]

</div>

</td>
</tr>
</table>

<br />

[BELOW ADD]-->
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

</tr>
</table>
</fieldset>
</div>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table><br />

then you say

[EDIT TEMPLATE MEMBERINFO]

then more how do you edit these templates?

Go into your Admin Control Panel --> Styles and Templates (on the left) --> Style Manager-->

Click on the button to the right that looks like this --- [<< >>].

The templates will be shown on that page. Find the template you want to edit and open it --> then edit.

How about adding something in the postbit to show when a user is away? For instance a small image or something? Maybe near the "online" light?

--I really like how it takes the away message when a post is made by the "away" user.

Its on the first post but where do you implement it?

Click install :)

btw. change content of "userawaynopm" phrase to:
it looks better :)

Works perfectly! Thank you!

Love this, took less than 5 mins, hope my users dont use it as much as i will though!!! :)

hmm.. nothing is showing up when i set this..
[ OD is away since - ]
Reason:

thats all it says?

Have you ran the SQL Query at the top of vb3 userawaymessages install.txt, that should add the phrases, if so then check through all the file edits, works fine for me!
