No from User Profile Field Manager see the name of each profile field we have added, the first one we added I called it fieldX & the second I called it fieldY So note for this, you must replace X by the number of the first field we have added & Y with the second field we have added in the following template edit

go to template "editor_toolbar_on" & search in it for the following code:

HTML Code:

<textarea name="message" id="{$editorid}_textarea" rows="10" cols="60" style="width:$stylevar[messagewidth]; height:{$editor_height}px" tabindex="1" dir="$stylevar[textdirection]">$newpost[message]</textarea>

& replace it by the following code:

HTML Code:

<textarea name="message" id="{$editorid}_textarea" rows="10" cols="60" style="width:$stylevar[messagewidth]; height:{$editor_height}px" tabindex="1" dir="$stylevar[textdirection]">$newpost[message]<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'private'"><if condition="$bbuserinfo['fieldX'] == 'Yes'">$bbuserinfo[fieldY]</if></if></textarea>

click save

Now you are done
