Is there any specific requirement for parsing vBulletin code in templates such as position above or below any of the default tags?

I've taken the code from the "navbar" template and placed it in a left column which I then took code from the bottom of the FORUMHOME in an attempt to get stats to also show up in the left column. However the following code does not parse.

After searching for many hours to find examples in this forum and the main vBulletin forum I'm dont see any solutions.

PHP Code:

$vbphrase[threads]: $totalthreads,
                $vbphrase[posts]: $totalposts,
                $vbphrase[members]: $numbermembers<if condition="$show['activemembers']">,
                    <span title="<phrase 1="$vboptions[activememberdays]">$vbphrase[within_the_last_x_days]</phrase>">$vbphrase[active_members]: $activemembers</span> 


Any direction would be appreciated
