Oh geez.. I'm pretty bad with query stuff... I'll probably butcher the terminology.. so here goes the basic idea:

So I need to write a query to call "parentid" (or whatever it is called) from the forum table, assign it to a variable, and then just say

PHP Code:

if ($parentid == 1) 
{ code here } 


Why isn't $parentid already a variable like $forumid? It seems pretty useful.

EDIT: I just found an instance of "$foruminfo[parentid]" in FORUMDISPLAY... So do I even need to go the plugin route? It seems like I could just get by with

<if condition="$foruminfo[parentid] == 1"> code <else /> other code </if>

if there's at least one use of it in a template.

Well, I feel kind of stupid now.. I really need to learn all of my vBulletin variables. Of course watch me not actually be able to use $foruminfo[parentid] how I'd want to.
