Where you would add:

<if condition="$post[userid]">
     <div>UserID: $post[userid]</div><br />
</if>

Instead, add:

<if condition="$post[userid] AND in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array(5,6))">
     <div>UserID: $post[userid]</div><br />
</if>

Where "array(5,6)" is the userids for the Super-Moderators and Admins. Any additional usergroups (like moderators) can just be added in the same way, with a comma then the ID.

True, but I also don't like cluttering up the postbit for the members with information that doesn't need to be there.

There's no reason for a member to be able to see the userID that easily, where as an administrator such as myself would find it easier having the ID displayed in static text rather than having to hover my mouse over a link every time I need to referrence it.
